Subchondral trabecular bone integrity changes following ACL injury and reconstruction: a cohort study with a nested, matched case-control analysis

At 46-month follow-up, FD profiles are significantly different, and show an overall lower FD signature, for ACL-injured knees when compared to the contralateral healthy knee and uninjured controls. Additionally, this study provided the first side-to-side symmetry data of medial and lateral FD values in healthy controls.
