Patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) are at an increased risk for posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). While we have previously shown that meniscal treatment with ACLR predicts more radiographic PTOA at 2 to 3 years postoperatively, there are a limited number of similar studies that have assessed cartilage directly with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
