Comparing clinical and functional outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using sonoelastografi
We used SEL to find a torn ACL and check its stability and condition after the ligament was reconstructed with a graft. We utilize SEL, or stress sonoelastography, to monitor graft viability and evaluate the progression of ACL injuries. It is also beneficial in evaluating whether the restored ligament possesses a functional structure akin to that of a normal ligament. Moreover, considering its accessibility, cost-effectiveness, replicability, and patient preference, it may provide a more advantageous alternative to MRI.
