During a meniscectomy, thirty competitive athletes who were less than thirty years old were found to have a non-functional or absent anterior cruciate ligament. Preoperative examination without anesthesia had revealed minimum to mild anterior instability without a positive pivot-shift or jerk test. They all had a meniscectomy without reconstruction of the ligament and all were followed for up to four years (average, 2.6 years). Twenty-five (83 per cent) returned to full athletic activity. All had relief of the symptoms of the meniscal lesion and improved significantly, but six progressed to moderate anterior instability with a positive pivot-shift and jerk test. Nevertheless, four of the six were able to resume unrestricted athletic activity.
在半月板切除术过程中，发现30名年龄小于30岁的竞技运动员存在前交叉韧带无功能或缺失的情况。术前未进行麻醉的检查显示存在最小限度至轻度的前向不稳定，且没有阳性的轴移试验或猛拉试验结果。他们均接受了半月板切除术，未进行韧带重建，并且全部接受了长达四年（平均2.6年）的随访。25名（83%）恢复了完全的运动活动。所有人半月板损伤的症状均得到缓解且有显著改善，但有6人进展为中度前向不稳定，轴移试验和猛拉试验呈阳性。然而，这6人中的4人能够恢复不受限制的运动活动。
