Structural determinants of quadriceps atrophy following ACL injury: Evidence for fibre atrophy without fibre loss or overt peripheral denervation

Quadriceps atrophy is a well-established consequence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, yet the mechanisms driving this process remain poorly characterized. Specifically, it is unclear whether atrophy reflects decreases in fibre cross-sectional area (CSA) or fibre number...
