Knee Crepitus and Osteoarthritis Features in Young Adults Following Traumatic Knee Injury
Self-reported knee crepitus was associated with the presence of full-thickness patellofemoral cartilage defects one year after ACLR but was not associated with a greater risk of worsening structural osteoarthritis features up to five years after ACLR. One year after ACLR, those with crepitus reported worse pain, knee-related QoL, and function.
