Risk Factors for Knee Osteoarthritis After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Older age, male sex, a higher body mass index, bone-patellar tendon-bone autografts, meniscectomy, a longer interval between ACL injury and surgery, and concomitant other injuries (meniscal or chondral) may increase the risk of KOA after ACLR. An increased awareness of relevant risk factors and targeted preventive strategies for modifiable risk factors can effectively reduce the incidence of KOA after ACLR.
