In a meta-analysis of osteoarthritis following ACL reconstruction it has been noted in combined, pooled results of 4108 patients that at 5, 10 and 20 years results in osteoarthritis in 11.3%, 20.6%, and 51.6% respectively. These are devastating results, but we must keep in mind that patients treated nonoperatively without ACL reconstruction develop OA at similar rates. Read additional details of the study HERE
