Greater knee flexion excursion/moment in hop** is associated with better knee function following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Individuals with impaired knee function after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) may be at greater risk of develo** knee osteoarthritis related to abnormal knee joint movement and loading. The ...

Lateral displacement, sulcus angle and trochlear angle are associated with early patellofemoral osteoarthritis following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) occurs in approximately half of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-injured knees within 10–15 years of trauma. Risk factors for post-traumatic PFOA are poorly understood. Pat...
