The Effect of Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis on Lower-Extremity Lean Mass Recovery Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis (LET) influences postoperative lower-extremity LM recovery following bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR). We hypothesize that patients undergoing ACLR BTB with LET will demonstrate greater loss of operative-leg LM at 9 months postoperatively compared with patients undergoing isolated ACLR BTB.
