What is acl mucoid degeneration?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Not really known: Mucoid degeneration of the ACL is seen most commonly in adults (35-55 years of age). The cause is not really known, but patients usually do not complain of instability. Anterior knee pain is the more common complaint. The ACL appears on MRI to be enlarged with cystic changes throughout, however it is intact. Arthroscopic debridement may help relieve the anterior knee pain.

Little known: Mucoid degeneration of the ACL is a rare clinical condition with little known about it. It afflicts active middle-aged people without a single significant traumatic episode and has a specific MRI picture. They respond well to surgical (arthroscopic) release of the ACL
