Persistent magnetic resonance imaging‐derived static anterior tibial translation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is associated with elevated cartilage T2 relaxation times but not serum biomarkers

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Persistent, static anterior tibial translation (sATT) alterations following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) may influence cartilage health. T2 relaxation times and serum biomarkers of cartilage degradation/bone resorption provide insight into osteoarthritis development.
