Abstract
Purpose: The incidence of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) using clinical radiographic grading criteria at 10 years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) has not been well-defined in a prospective cohort of young athletic patients. Among young athletic patients, there is a high incidence of clinical radiographic PTOA at 10 years after ACLR. Additionally, there is a significant difference in clinical radiographic osteoarthritis changes (joint space narrowing [JSN] and osteophyte formation) between the ACL reconstructed and contralateral knees at 10 years.
