Abstrakt:	Purpose: Reduced bone mineral density of the distal femur (BMD DF ) can persist long term after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), even in athletes who return to high levels of competition. These deficits may have implications for the onset and progression of knee osteoarthritis. It is unknown if clinically modifiable factors are associated with losses in BMD DF . This study evaluated the potential influence of knee extensor peak torque (PT), rate of torque development (RTD), as well as peak knee flexion (PKF) angle and peak knee extensor moment (PKEM) during running, on longitudinal changes in BMD DF post-ACLR. Methods: After ACLR, 57 Division I collegiate athletes underwent serial whole-body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans between 3 and 24 months post-ACLR. Of these, 43 athletes also had isometric knee extensor testing (21 female, 105 observations), and 54 had running analyses (26 female, 141 observations). Linear mixed-effects models, controlling for sex, assessed the influence of surgical limb quadriceps performance (PT and RTD), running mechanics (PKF and PKEM), and time post-ACLR on BMD DF (5% and 15% of femur length). Simple slope analyses were used to explore interactions. Results: Athletes with RTD less than 7.20 (N·m)·kg -1 ·s -1 (mean) at 9.3 months post-ACLR demonstrated significant decreases in 15% BMD DF over time ( P = 0.03). Athletes with PKEM during running less than 0.92 (N·m)·kg -1 (-1 SD below mean) at 9.8 months post-ACLR demonstrated significant decreases in 15% BMD DF over time ( P = 0.02). Significant slopes were not detected at -1 SD below the mean for PT (1.75 (N·m)·kg -1 , P = 0.07) and PKF (31.3°, P = 0.08). Conclusions: Worse quadriceps RTD and running PKEM were associated with a greater loss of BMD DF between 3 and 24 months post-ACLR. (Copyright © 2023 by the American College of Sports Medicine.)
