All patients who underwent unilateral primary ACLR registered in the Norwegian and Swedish National Knee Ligament Registries from 2005 to 2008 (n = 15,783) were included in the study. At 5-year follow-up, 8470 (54%) patients completed the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). Multivariable linear regression models were used to estimate the effect of concomitant partial-thickness and full-thickness cartilage lesions on patient-reported outcomes (KOOS) 5 years after ACLR. Compared with no concomitant cartilage lesions, both partial-thickness and full-thickness cartilage lesions were indicators of statistically significant adverse effects on the KOOS in the adjusted regression analysis at 5-year follow-up after ACLR.
Conclusion: ACL-injured patients with concomitant cartilage lesions reported worse outcomes and less improvement than those without cartilage lesions 5 years after ACLR.
