Abstract:Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are associated with a risk of post-traumatic osteoarthritis due to chondral damage. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques provide excellent visualization and assessment of cartilage and can detect subtle and early chondral damage. This is often preceding clinical and radiographic post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Hypothesis: Morphologic and quantitative MRI techniques can assess early and progressive degenerative chondral changes after acute ACL injury. … Show more
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.
