How should we define success after ACL Reconstruction?

Description

Analysis of a cohort of 249 ACLR patients – all cases done by SORI surgeons between 2016 – 2021; with complete 2-year follow-up through our centre.

Determine success in terms of both RTS and satisfaction, investigate the correlation between RTS and satisfaction, and identify variables that influence these outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • High patient satisfaction and high RTS-rate in this cohort
  • —  High satisfaction even without RTS
  • —  RTS ≠ driving factor behind satisfaction in every patient
  • —  Lower satisfaction when operated knee was the reason of no RTS
  • —  Reinjury or contralateral injury seems not to impact satisfaction
  • —  Other variables under investigation to determine clinical significance
