Gait Mechanics and T1ρ MRI of Tibiofemoral Cartilage 6 Months after ACL Reconstruction

Conclusion Associations between outcomes related to lesser mechanical loading during walking and greater T1ρ MRI ILR were found 6 months after ACLR. Although preliminary, our results suggest that underloading of the ACLR limb at 6 months after ACLR may be associated with lesser proteoglycan density in the ACLR limb compared with the uninjured limb.
