Relationship Between Early Cartilage Degeneration With T1ρ and T2 Analysis in Medial Tibial Cartilage and 10-Year Posttraumatic Osteoarthritis Progression After ACL Reconstruction
The T1ρ/T2 values 1 year postoperatively and the increase from baseline to 1 year in the MT cartilage after ACLR were associated with the deterioration of the comprehensive evaluation of the knee at 10 years postoperatively. These findings help establish qMRI as a valuable biomarker for detecting early signs of PTOA progression.
