Abstract
This article examines the elements that affect the return to sport (RTS) and the risk and percentages of reinjury following a prior primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The prevalence of RTS following ACLR ranges from 71% to 83%. Concerning elements affecting RTS, a limb symmetry index score of 90 or more duplicates the likelihood of RTS and triplicates it when the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score is 95 or more, irrespective of age. Other elements recognized to be preindicative of RTS at 1 year include complete rehabilitation, age ≤25, and higher IKDC scores. The prevalence of reinjury following ACLR ranges from 1.5% to 37.5% (between 9% and 29% in the majority of reports). It has been published that 1 in 5 individuals suffers reinjury to either knee, and that male individuals are more prone to reinjure following ACLR. The highest percentage of ACLR reinjury happens in younger male (<18 years), being substantially higher than in female of the same age. Passing a combination of functional tests with predetermined cut-off points utilized as RTS criteria are related diminished ACLR reinjury percentages.
