Abstrakt: The article discusses research which focused on the use of quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ultrashort echo time (UTE)-enhanced T2 mapping of cartilage and meniscus following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Topics explored include the cartilage loss and meniscus dysfunction risks associated with ACL injuries, the recruitment and physical examination of study participants, and the results of the statistical analysis and arthroscopic assessment performed.
