This study demonstrates that subchondral bone plate thickness differences are prominent following knee injury, as measured by HR-pQCT, but no statistically significant differences in cartilage morphology, measured by MRI, were found between ACLR knees compared to contralateral and control knees. These data provide novel insight into post-traumatic knee injuries that may be signs of early OA pathogenesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
