Our study is to evaluate the relationship between
cartilage MRI quantification, WORMS (Whole-Organ
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score) and patient-reported
outcomes after acute ACL injuries. forty-two subjects
with ACL acute ruptured were enrolled. T1ρ and T2 MRI
scan were performed at baseline. Osteoarthritis Outcome
Score (KOOS) questionnaire was filled in by each patient
during the MR visit and WORMS score was graded by
experienced msk radiologists. KOOS has significantly
correlations with T1ρ and T2 quantification in some
compartments of cartilage in tibia and Femoral condyle,
and with several sub-scores in WORMS, such as cartilage
lesion and bone marrow edema. Significant correlations
were observed between KOOS and cartilage T1ρ and T2
after adjusted for age, BMI and time to injury,
indicating an independent relationship between cartilage
damage and patient outcomes after acute injuries. Higher
WORMS scores on cartilage lesion and bone marrow edema,
especially on lateral side of knee joint, are obviously
related with worse patients outcome. It revealed that
the recovery of lateral focal lesion potentially greatly
affected the patients daily living quality.
