Abstract

After an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, people need secondary prevention strategies to identify osteoarthritis at its earliest stages so that interventions can be implemented to halt or slow the progression toward its long-term burden. The Osteoarthritis Action Alliance formed an interdisciplinary Sec-ondary Prevention Task Group to develop a consensus on recommendations to provide clinicians with secondary preven-ti on strategies that are intended to reduce the risk of osteoarthritis after a person has an ACL injury. The group achieved consensus on 15 out of 16 recommendations that address patient education, exercise and rehabilitation, psycho-logical skills training, graded-exposure therapy, cognitive-be-havioral counseling (lacked consensus), outcomes to monitor, secondary injury prevention, system-level social support, lever-aging technology, and coordinated care models. We hope this statement raises awareness among clinicians and researchers on the importance of taking steps to mitigate the risk of osteoarthritis after an ACL injury.
