Gait Characteristics Associated With a Greater Increase in Medial Knee Cartilage T_1ρ and T₂ Relaxation Times in Patients Undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Abstract

The findings of this study revealed that a higher KFM, KFA, and vGRF during gait, especially at 6 months after ACLR, were associated with greater deterioration of MTFJ cartilage health at later time points.
