    Time frame: 24 months

    Participants self-report if they still have knee pain

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pain intensity

    Time frame: 24 months

    Worst pain in the previous week measured on a visual analogue scale (VAS) from 'no pain' to 'worst imaginable pain'

  2. Pain frequency

    Time frame: 24 months

    Frequency of knee pain divided into (almost daily, several times per week, weekly, monthly, rarely, never)

    Time frame: 24months

    Participants will be asked if they use painkillers to manage their knee pain (y/n). If yes, they will be asked how often.

  6. knee injury and osteoarthritis outcomes score (KOOS) sport and activity subscale

    Time frame: 24 months

    knee injury and osteoarthritis outcomes score (KOOS) subscale sport and activity. Minimum 0 points, maximum 100points, with 100 points being the best possible score.

  7. Sports participation
