Abstract
s / Osteoarthritis and Cartilage 20 (2012) S54–S296 S245 three cases from each groups one year after the surgery and revealed that cartilage damage deteriorated in all three cases of BCL (+). Conclusions: Fleming et al. reported that dGEMRIC index decreased especially at medial femoral condyle after ACL rupture. This means that cartilage compositional change is already there after ACL injury. The present results showed that the longer the interval between the initial traumatic episode and the reconstruction surgery becomes the more likely meniscal damage is, leading to cartilage damage described here as the “Barcode-like lesion” at the medial femoral condyle. This cartilage damage did not essentially improve one year after the surgery.
