【 摘 要 】

Muscular (quadriceps) weakness is a predominant impairment that follows anterior cruciate ligament injury and surgery. This continued weakness impairs activities of daily living and could predispose patients to adverse conditions later in life, such as knee osteoarthritis. Vitamins E and C have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Herein, the authors summarize the state-of-the science and suggest directions for future research endeavors regarding the therapeutic influence of vitamins E and C, or other antioxidants, on the recovery from anterior cruciate ligament injury and surgery.
