Return to sport: Does excellent 6-month strength and function following ACL reconstruction predict midterm outcomes?
TLDR
Patients with an excellent performance on their isokinetic strength and functional testing at 6 months after ACL reconstruction have superior knee function and higher activity levels at midterm follow-up, however, these patients appear to be at greater risk of contralateral ACL injury, which may be related to their increased activity level.Abstract:
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to determine whether patients with excellent 6-month functional testing after ACL reconstruction had (1) higher risk of subsequent ACL tears, (2) superior knee function, and (3) increased activity levels compared to those with delayed clearance for return to sports at midterm follow-up.read more

What is the Evidence for and Validity of Return-to-Sport Testing after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Surgery? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
TL;DR: There are equivocal findings in terms of the validity of current RTS test batteries in relation to reduction of the risk of graft rupture and contralateral ACL injuries and further work is needed to validate the criteria currently used and determine the true value.

Optimising the Late-Stage Rehabilitation and Return-to-Sport Training and Testing Process After ACL Reconstruction
TL;DR: Factors that may be highly relevant for RTS training and testing after ACL reconstruction, but which have received limited research attention to date or do not form part of the standard approach to rehabilitation are discussed.

Is It Time We Better Understood the Tests We are Using for Return to Sport Decision Making Following ACL Reconstruction? A Critical Review of the Hop Tests.
TL;DR: The evidence presented in this review shows that hop tests display good reliability and are sensitive to change over time, but it is recommended that the contralateral limb be tested prior to surgery for a more relevant benchmark for performance, and clinicians are strongly advised to measure movement quality.

Return to Level I Sports After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Evaluation of Age, Sex, and Readiness to Return Criteria:
Kate E. Webster,Julian A. Feller +1 more
TL;DR: Almost half of younger athletes in the current cohort returned to level I sports within 12 months after ACL reconstruction, and younger athletes were also more likely to meet criteria that indicate a satisfactory functional recovery and that have been used to indicate readiness to RTS.

Functional testing and return to sport following stabilization surgery for recurrent lateral patellar instability in competitive athletes
Aaron J. Krych,Michael P. O'Malley,Nick R. Johnson,Rohith Mohan,Timothy E. Hewett,Michael J. Stuart,Diane L. Dahm +6 more
TL;DR: Surgical stabilization including MFPL reconstruction for recurrent lateral patellar instability is an effective procedure for returning athletes to competitive sports, however, strength deficits persist at 6 months after surgery, especially in those undergoing concomitant TTO, which may delay return to sport.

TL;DR: The International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Form is a reliable and valid knee-specific measure of symptoms, function, and sports activity that is appropriate for patients with a wide variety of knee problems.

Measures of knee function: International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Evaluation Form, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Physical Function Short Form (KOOS-PS), Knee Outcome Survey Activities of Daily Living Scale (KOS-ADL), Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale, Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Activity Rating Scale (ARS), and Tegner Activity Score (TAS)
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of knee measures of knee function was presented, which included the following 9 patient-reported outcomes: Activity Rating Scale, International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Evaluation Form, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, knee OA, Physical Function Short Form, Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale, Tegner Activity Scale, Oxford Knee Score, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities OsteOarthritis Index (WOMAC).

A Meta-analysis of the Incidence of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears as a Function of Gender, Sport, and a Knee Injury–Reduction Regimen
TL;DR: Meta-analysis was applied to the entire applicable literature to generate accurate estimates of the true incidences of ACL tear as a function of gender, sport, and injury-reduction training and found female subjects had a roughly 3 times greater incidence of ACL tears in soccer and basketball versus male subjects.

Incidence of anterior cruciate ligament injury and other knee ligament injuries: a national population-based study.
TL;DR: Analysis of injury descriptions for ACLS injuries indicated that 58% involved a non-contact mechanism of injury, which underscores the high level of short-term disability associated with knee ligament injuries, especially ACL injuries that require surgery.

TL;DR: The Lysholm knee score and the Tegner activity scale demonstrated acceptable psychometric parameters as patient-administered scores and showed acceptable responsiveness to be used in early return to function after anterior cruciate ligament treatment.
