Winner of the 2008 Systematic Review Competition: Knee Osteoarthritis after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury (2009, background): “Studies including subjects with a preinjury Tegner score of more than 7 or studies that included only soccer players reported a prevalence of knee OA between 8% and 100%.(47,49,53,61,90,93) Studies including subjects with lower preinjury Tegner scores reported a prevalence between 11% and 66%.”
