AJSM July 2025 Podcast: Association Between ACL Continuity on Magnetic Resonance Imaging at 5 Years After an Acute ACL Rupture and 11-Year Outcomes: A Secondary Analysis From the KANON Trial
Emerging evidence suggests that anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures can restore ACL fiber continuity.
The relationship between ACL continuity on magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) (sign of ACL healing) and outcomes >5 years after
an acute ACL rupture has not been investigated.
ACL continuity on 5-year MRI may be
associated with worse patient-reported outcomes at 11 years after
an ACL injury compared with early or delayed ACLR.
