2022 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Symptoms of post-traumatic osteoarthritis remain stable up to 10 years after ACL reconstruction

Symptoms of post-traumatic osteoarthritis remain stable up to 10 years after ACL reconstruction

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker shares data from the MOON study, a multicenter cohort study focusing on the incidence of knee pain following ACL reconstruction. Over 3,000 patients were enrolled, and patient-reported outcome instruments were administered at 2, 6, and 10-year follow-ups. Three different thresholds were examined to define symptomatic knees, and the results showed that symptoms of knee pain did not increase over a decade post-ACL reconstruction. The speaker suggests that preventing post-traumatic arthritis should be a focus, particularly during the early period after injury. They also mention the potential for future study in the area of post-traumatic arthritis.
