Untreated ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament. A follow-up study.
Abstract
Fifty patients (fifty-three knees) with surgically verified ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament were evaluated at an average of ten years after injury. There was a high incidence of anterior laxity, rotatory instability, and meniscal tears at follow-up. The roentgenographic incidence of osteoarthritis at follow-up was low. Patients who had regained normal thigh circumference had better results than those with thigh atrophy. Although few of the patients felt that the knee was completely normal, 72 per cent of the patients returned to strenuous sports and 47 per cent felt that they had no restrictions because of the knee. This study of untreated ruptures may provide a baseline for evaluation of procedures to repair or reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
