Delayed Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein Response to Loading is Associated with Femoral Cartilage Composition Post-Aclr

To determine associations between immediate and delayed response of serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (sCOMP) to loading (i.e., 3000 walking steps) and femoral cartilage interlimb T1ρ relaxation times in individual’s post-anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). This cross-sectional study included 20 individuals 6–12 months following primary ACLR (65
