Method:  16 knees with machine measured ACL laxity (KT-1000 arthrometer) were injected bimonthly with 10-25% dextrose solution for 1 year and then an average of 4 times yearly thereafter until 3 year follow-up.  

Summary:   Using simple dextrose injection into 16 knees with a loose ACL ligament, 10/16 knees were no longer loose by machine measurement at time of follow-up, and symptoms  were improved. Symptom of osteoarthritits improved even in those who still tested loose.   At the 3 year follow-up  pain with walking had improved by 43% ,  subjective swelling improved 63%,  flexion range of motion improved by 10.5 degrees,  and KT1000 ADD (machine measure of ACL ligament looseness) improved by 71%.
