Are magnetic resonance imaging recovery and laxity improvement possible after anterior cruciate ligament rupture in nonoperative treatment?
Two years after ACL rupture and nonoperative management, patients experienced partial recovery on MRI, and some knee laxity improvement was present. Improvement of ACL features on MRI correlates moderately with improved laxity.
We demonstrated a marked decline in PNGF among preterm VLBW infants from 1995-2000 to 2006-2010. This decline was even present in extremely premature infants.
