Incidence and Risk Factors for Posttraumatic Osteoarthritis After Primary ACL Reconstruction in Pediatric Patients: A National Database Study
The incidence of PTOA diagnoses was low within 5 years after primary ACLR in patients ≤16 years old with no subsequent cartilage, meniscus, and/or revision ligament procedures. The need for subsequent motion restoration procedures, age ≥12 years at the time of ACLR, delayed ACLR, obesity, and male sex were significant risk factors associated with a PTOA diagnosis.
