Sixty-two athletes whose injured knees had negligible instability were found to have an absent or functionless anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) at the time of medial meniscectomy. After a mean of 52 months of followup, 51 patients were examined; 24 (47%) had returned to full sports activities, whereas 27 (53%) acknowledged incidents of the knee "giving way" or having completely given up sports because of instability. By analyzing the following variables, the jerk test, the type of meniscal lesion, and the type of sports engaged, we formulated a rating system to be used intraoperatively for determining the need for combining meniscectomy with a ligament reconstruction.
