Are Articular Cartilage Lesions and Meniscus Tears Predictive of IKDC KOOS and Marx Activity Level Outcomes after ACL Reconstruction? A 6-Year MOON Cohort Study

摘要

Objectives:Identifying risk factors for inferior outcomes after ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is important for prognosis and future treatment. Study goal: analyze a sufficiently large enough cohort to evaluate whether articular cartilage and meniscal variables are predictive of three validated sports outcome instruments. We hypothesized that articular cartilage lesions and meniscus tears/treatment would be predictors of IKDC, KOOS (all 5 subscales), and Marx Activity Level at 6 years after ACLR.
