Multicenter Orthopaedic Outcomes Network (MOON)

The Multicenter Orthopaedic Outcomes Network (MOON) is a collaborative research group that studies injuries, treatments, and recovery in orthopaedic (bone and joint) conditions, especially ACL (knee ligament) tears. By collecting and analyzing data from multiple hospitals and clinics, MOON aims to identify the most effective treatment methods and improve patient outcomes. Their work helps doctors make better-informed decisions, supports shared decision-making with patients, and advances understanding of how different treatments influence recovery, long-term joint health, and activity levels.
