Abstract
Because of the high prevalence of subsequent posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury has been adopted as a human model of early osteoarthritis. There are multiple mechanisms by which ACL injury promotes PTOA progression. The injury affects the joint as an organ impacting not only the articular cartilage but also the synovium, underlying bone, and surrounding musculature with similar pathways implicated in the development and progression of idiopathic knee OA. In addition, both patient and injury characteristics may also contribute to PTOA progression after ACL injury.
