Return to Sports After ACLR

Patients who were surgically treated with ACL reconstruction at a single clinic between 2013 and 2018 will be approached by a questionnaire regarding their return to sport after surgery. Questions will focus on the timepoint of the return, subsequent injuries, and the impact of the initial injury on the life of the patients. In addition, existing clinical data from the baseline visit and from the follow-up visits offered routinely to the patient will be used.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Time until return to sport

    Time frame: All patients will be asked in a cross sectional assessment, i.e. at one specific date (planned: May 31, 2021). The distance of this time point to the time of surgery will vary between 2 and 8 years.

    This will be based on a self reporting by the patient.

  2. Occurrence of a subsequent injury after return to sport

    Time frame: All patients will be asked in a cross sectional assessment, i.e. at one specific date (planned: May 31, 2021). The distance of this time point to the time of surgery will vary between 2 and 8 years.

    This will be based on the self reporting by the patient

Secondary outcomes

  1. Average Muscle Strength

    Time frame: At 1 year follow up.

    Muscle strength is assessed by considering the flexion/extension ratio. This data will be collected retrospectively form the medical records,

  2. Relative frequency of coping strategies

    Time frame: All patients will be asked in a cross sectional assessment, i.e. at one specific date (planned: May 31, 2021). The distance of this time point to the time of surgery will vary between 2 and 8 years.

    A series of questions about the impact of the injury on the life of the patients will be answered by the patients
