Quantifying Muscle Volume Deficits Among 38 Lower Extremity Muscles in Collegiate Football Athletes After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Persistent quadriceps atrophy in a cohort of high-level athletes over 2 years after ACLR was highlighted in this study. Deficits in the gastrocnemius muscles, but not in the soleus, were also identified. This comprehensive approach examining various lower extremity muscles revealed latent muscle volume deficits present after ACLR.
