Shear wave elastography reveals elevated infrapatellar fat pad stiffness in patients with early osteoarthritis symptoms after ACL reconstruction
Shear wave elastography shows potential as a non-invasive tool for detecting early IPFP stiffness changes associated with OA symptoms post-ACLR. These findings suggest that IPFP stiffness may be an early marker for OA risk, warranting further longitudinal studies to evaluate its progression and to further examine the clinical utility of shear wave elastography.
