Abstrakt: Patellofemoral joint (PFJ) osteoarthritis is common following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and may be linked with altered joint loading. However, little is known about the cross-sectional and longitudinal relationship between PFJ loading and osteoarthritis post-ACLR. This study tested if altered PFJ loading is associated with prevalent and worsening early PFJ osteoarthritis post-ACLR. Forty-six participants (mean ± 1 SD age 26 ± 5 years) approximately 1-year post-ACLR underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and biomechanical assessment of their reconstructed knee. Trunk and lower-limb kinematics plus ground reaction forces were recorded during the landing phase of a standardized forward hop. These data were input into a musculoskeletal model to calculate the PFJ contact force. Follow-up MRI was completed on 32 participants at 5-years post-ACLR. Generalized linear models (Poisson regression) assessed the relationship between PFJ loading and prevalent early PFJ osteoarthritis (i.e., presence of a PFJ cartilage lesion at 1-year post-ACLR) and worsening PFJ osteoarthritis (i.e., incident/progressive PFJ cartilage lesion between 1- and 5-years post-ACLR). A lower peak PFJ contact force was associated with prevalent early PFJ osteoarthritis at 1-year post-ACLR (n = 14 [30.4%]; prevalence ratio: 1.37; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-1.85) and a higher risk of worsening PFJ osteoarthritis between 1- and 5-years post-ACLR (n = 9 [28.1%]; risk ratio: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.13-2.11). Young adults post-ACLR who exhibited lower PFJ loading during hopping were more likely to have early PFJ osteoarthritis at 1-year and worsening PFJ osteoarthritis between 1- and 5-years. Clinical interventions aimed at mitigating osteoarthritis progression may be beneficial for those with signs of lower PFJ loading post-ACLR.
