If You Tear a Knee Ligament, Arthritis Is Likely to Follow in 10 Years

3/24/2018

This article from The New York Times discusses new research that suggests an increased risk of developing arthritis in the knee after an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tear. The study found that individuals who experienced ACL tears had a significantly higher risk of developing osteoarthritis in their knees compared to those who did not tear their ACL. The article also highlights the importance of early intervention and proper rehabilitation following an ACL tear to potentially reduce the long-term risk of arthritis. The research adds to our understanding of the link between ACL injuries and the development of arthritis, emphasizing the need for preventive measures and comprehensive care for individuals at risk.
