Abstract

Purpose: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is associated with an increased risk of tibiofemoral joint (TFJ) and patellofemoral joint (PFJ) osteoarthritis (OA). OA following ACL injury occurs at a younger age, progresses at a faster rate, with fewer treatment options than idiopathic OA in older adults. Identifying prognostic factors for OA after ACL injury is needed to inform prevention strategies. The purpose was to identify prognostic factors for TFJ and PFJ radiographic OA (ROA) and symptomatic OA (SOA) following acute ACL injury.
