Abnormal tibiofemoral kinematics following ACL reconstruction are associated with early cartilage matrix degeneration measured by MRI T1rho.
PURPOSE Altered kinematics following ACL-reconstruction may be a cause of post-traumatic osteoarthritis. T(1ρ) MRI is a technique that detects early cartilage matrix degeneration. Our study aimed to evaluate kinematics following ACL-reconstruction, cartilage health (using T(1ρ) MRI), and assess whether altered kinematics following ACL-reconstruction are associated with early cartilage degenerat...
متن کاملQuantitative Mri Reveals Early Cartilage Degeneration in Acl-injured Knees
INTRODUCTION The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is one of the most common and severe knee injuries, and has shown to be a risk factor of posttraumatic osteoarthritis (OA) despite ACL reconstruction (1). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used widely for detecting and monitoring joint injuries. Conventional MRI, however, is limited to probing primarily morphologic changes of the...
متن کاملPersistent Biomechanical Alterations After ACL Reconstruction Are Associated With Early Cartilage Matrix Changes Detected by Quantitative MR
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in preventing early osteoarthritis is debated. Restoring the original biomechanics may potentially prevent degeneration, but apparent pathomechanisms have yet to be described. Newer quantitative magnetic resonance (qMR) imaging techniques, specifically T1ρ and T2, offer novel, noninvasive methods of visualizing and ...
متن کاملQuantitative MRI of Tibiofemoral Articular Cartilage in a Porcine Model of ACL Reconstruction
INTRODUCTION: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury places the knee at risk for early osteoarthritis (OA) [1]. While ACL reconstruction (ACLR) improves knee joint stability, the procedure does not eliminate OA risk associated with ACL injury. ACL transection (ACLT) mimics many, although not all, aspects of a traumatically ACL-injured knee, and is often used to induce OA in animal models. In l...
متن کاملCartilage Endplate Thickness Variation Measured by Ultrashort Echo-Time MRI Is Associated with Adjacent Disc Degeneration.
STUDY DESIGN A magnetic resonance imaging study of human cadaver spines. OBJECTIVE To investigate associations between cartilage endplate (CEP) thickness and disc degeneration. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Damage to the CEP is associated with spinal injury and back pain. However, CEP morphology and its association with disc degeneration have not been well characterized. METHODS Ten lumbar m...
