Flexibility of infrapatellar fat pad affecting anterior knee pain 6 months after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring autograft

Abstract This study aimed to identify factors affecting anterior knee pain (AKP) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with hamstring tendon autograft using ultrasonography. Forty-two patients were evaluated by ultrasound, 6 months after ACLR. The thickness of the superficial part o...
