Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Degeneratio Mucosa is a condition caused by mucoid degeneration of the ACL, leading to impaired daily function. The exact cause of this condition is unknown. Researchers are studying a surgical technique called ACL "decompression," which involves making longitudinal incisions and removing extrafibrous mucoid tissue to address this problem. The study focuses on patients with ACL Degeneratio Mucosa who have decided to undergo surgical treatment. This treatment involves the decompression procedure applied to the affected ligament. The study does not mention comparison groups or placebos, as it is observational in nature. Participants will be followed for up to 24 months, during which their knee function will be closely monitored. Assessments include measuring range of motion, knee stability in different directions, and functional scores using the International Knee Documentation Committee Questionnaire (IKDC) and the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). These evaluations occur at 12 and 24 months after treatment to track recovery and knee performance.
