Abstract

Purpose: Ultrasound imaging is a clinically feasible tool to assess femoral articular cartilage following acute knee injury. We previously used ultrasound to identify cartilage thickening following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction (ACLR), as well as describe the relationship between pre-operative cartilage echo-intensity and early osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms at 1 year post-ACLR. However, these prior studies relied on manual techniques to segment femoral cartilage images, which are time-consuming and require a level of technical expertise that may limit translation ultrasound cartilage imaging to a clinical setting.
