Dr. Holm discusses the prevalence of osteoarthritis and function after open and endoscopic techniques for ACL reconstruction

67 patients undergoing anterior ligament reconstruction were randomized to either an open or endoscopic technique to compare differences in long-term function and the prevalence of osteoarthritis. At the final 12 year follow-up there were no differences in the prevalence of osteoarthritis (Grade 2 or greater using the Kellgren and Lawrence grading system) between the two procedures in the affected knee (approximately 80%). Functional assessments at the 12 year follow-up also demonstrated similar results between groups, both experiencing a slight decline from measures taken at 2 years.
