OSTEOARTHRITIS, SECONDARY
The primary outcome will be the side-to-side difference in anterior tibial translation as measured on the GNRB arthrometer at 2 years post-operatively, between groups. Maximum anteroposterior tibial translation at 134 N will be recorded on both the operative and non-operative knees pre-operatively and post-operatively at 3, 12 and 24 months. The goals of ACL reconstruction are to restore sagittal and rotatory stability to the knee and to prevent secondary injuries such as meniscal tears, and progression to osteoarthritis [
