The well-being of people with anterior cruciate ligament rupture-related post-traumatic osteoarthritis in Aotearoa New Zealand
The study highlights opportunities to provide better long-term support and management, improve outcomes, and reduce the burden on these individuals. ACL injury can profoundly impact people's lives in the long term. Better education, support services, and consideration of psychosocial factors are needed. Addressing identified barriers could reduce the individual and socioeconomic burden of PTOA for New Zealanders. Future research involving stakeholders must establish acceptable long-term management programmes tailored to ensure they meet the population's needs and address the unique socioeconomic context and ethnic disparities in Aotearoa New Zealand.
