Study Summary

This is a multicenter randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess whether a 6-month course of oral montelukast after ACL reconstruction reduces systemic markers of inflammation and biochemical and imaging biomarkers of cartilage degradation. This study will specifically target older ACL reconstruction patients with concomitant meniscal injuries as this group is at greatest risk of rapid PTOA progression. Patients will randomly be assigned to receive oral montelukast (10 mg) versus placebo daily for 6 months after surgery.

Primary Outcome

Prostaglandin E2 is a potential inflammatory mediator, and it is being measured to directly assess whether treatment reduces this systemic inflammatory marker. Greater serum prostaglandin is associated with greater inflammation.
