Outcome of Arthroscopic Treatment of Mucoid Degeneration of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament.

Conclusions: Our study provides further evidence that arthroscopic total or partial excision of anterior cruciate ligament is a safe and effective treatment for mucoid degeneration of the anterior cruciate ligament, improving patient satisfaction and function without causing clinical instability in daily activities. However, young patients should be forewarned about the risk of instability, and an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction could be necessary. PMID: 30174806 [PubMed - in process]
