Official title
A Multi-Center Feasibility Trial Establishing Imaging and Biochemical Technologies as Measures of Knee Cartilage Composition Following Acute ACL Injury
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study will evaluate the bio-mechanical and biochemical abnormalities in acute ACL-injured knees over time. Data will be collected through advanced quantitative MR imaging, functional testing, and bio-specimen collection. Researchers will collect this data from the time of baseline visit, which is within 28 days of injury, through the temporal sequence of post-operative or post-injury recovery and return to activity. The hypotheses for this study are (1) that T1ρ and T2 will be significantly elevated in the lateral side of ACL-injured knees immediately after injury (indicating damage caused by initial injury), and will not fully recover at 6-month, 1-year follow ups; (2) that T1ρ and T2 will be significantly elevated in the medial side of ACL-injured knees at 1-year follow-up; and (3) that differences in the bio-marker expression patterns can be correlated with the initial MRI findings, which would provide information regarding the full spectrum of intra-articular pathology and the subsequent clinical outcomes.
