Abstract

Objective: To determine the prevalence and factors associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA) defined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and specific MRI-OA features one year after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Methods: Isotropic 3.0T MRI scans were obtained for 111 participants (mean age 30±8years, 71 men) one year post-ACLR and 20 age-, sex- and activity level-matched uninjured controls. The MRI OsteoArthritis Knee Score (MOAKS) was used to score specific OA features. MRI-defined tibiofemoral and patellofemoral OA was evaluated based on published criteria. Logistic regression identified factors associated with MRI-defined OA and specific OA features post-ACLR. Results: Following ACLR, medial and lateral tibiofemoral MRI-OA were observed in 7 (6%) and 12 (11%) participants, respectively, while 19 (17%) participants had patellofemoral MRI-OA. The femoral trochlea was the region most affected by bone marrow lesions (19% of participants), cartilage lesions (31%) and osteophytes (37%). Meniscectomy at the time of ACLR (odds ratio 6.8, 95%CI 2.0 to 23.3) and BMI >25kg.m(-2) (3.0, 1.3 to 6.9) predicted MRI-defined tibiofemoral OA and osteophytes, respectively. Men had higher odds of patellofemoral osteophytes (6.3, 2.4 to 16.2). In uninjured controls, no participant had tibiofemoral or patellofemoral MRI-OA and specific OA features were uncommon. Conclusion: Osteoarthritis one year following ACLR was more common than previously recognised, while being absent in uninjured control knees. The patellofemoral compartment seems to be at particular risk for early OA post-ACLR, especially in men. The association with meniscectomy and BMI demonstrates the construct validity of MRI criteria.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 70. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 January 2023.
All research outputs
#579,517
of 24,571,708 outputs
Outputs from Arthritis & Rheumatology
#209
of 2,965 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#7,181
of 268,342 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Arthritis & Rheumatology
#4
of 76 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,571,708 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 97th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,965 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 21.8. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 268,342 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 76 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.
