Greater delayed sCOMP response to loading, a biomarker of cartilage breakdown, is associated with worse lateral femoral cartilage composition in the ACLR limb compared to the uninjured limb. Delayed sCOMP response to loading may be a more indicative metabolic indicator linked to deleterious changes in composition than immediate sCOMP response.
