MRI-based ACL graft maturity does not predict clinical and functional outcomes during the first year after ACL reconstruction

To determine whether magnetic resonance image (MRI)-based graft maturity predicts clinical and functional scores during the first year after ACL reconstruction. Patients with unilateral ACL reconstruction were prospectively invited to participate in this study, and they were examined using a 3.0-T MRI scan at 3, 6, and 12 months after the operation. Clinical examinations were performed on the same day, including subjective functional...
