Abstrakt:	Background: A paucity of information is available regarding the clinical outcomes of patients with radiological evidence of Kaplan fiber (KF) injury who undergo anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR). Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose was to compare clinical and functional outcomes in patients undergoing acute primary ACLR with and without magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evidence of KF injury. The hypothesis was that there would be no difference in clinical or functional outcomes in patients with versus those without radiological evidence of KF injury. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: MRI analysis was conducted on patients in a longitudinal prospective study of ACL injury. Only patients who had an MRI scan and had undergone isolated primary ACLR within 60 days of injury were included. MRI was performed using standard knee protocols, and diagnostic criteria were applied to identify KF injury. A total of 32 patients with KF injury (mean age, 24.2 years; 21 male, 11 female) were identified and matched for sex, age, graft type, and preinjury activity with 90 patients who had intact KF. Patients were followed up at 12 months with KT-1000 arthrometer measurements of side-to-side difference in anterior knee laxity, single- and triple-hop limb symmetry index (LSI), Marx activity and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores, and return to sport (RTS) rates at 12 months and 24 months. Results: No differences were found in anterior knee laxity and single- and triple-hop LSI values between the KF-intact and KF-injured cohorts at 12 months. No differences in Marx and IKDC scores were found between the groups at 12 months and 2 years. The overall rate of RTS within 24 months was 75% (92/122), and 5 patients (2 KF-injured; 3 KF-intact) had a subsequent graft rupture. Conclusion: We found no difference in clinical or functional outcomes in patients with and without radiological evidence of KF injury who underwent acute primary ACLR. Based on these findings, the radiological presence of KF injury at the time of acute ACL injury should not be regarded as a risk factor for a negative prognosis after ACLR.
