Have you ever wondered how long it would take to get back to sports after multiple ACL injuries? Dr Grawe and his team have done a study on what it takes to get back to sports after an ACL reconstruction.
A systematic review of the literature following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines was conducted for athletes undergoing revision ACL reconstruction at a minimum 1-year follow-up. The primary outcome measure was return to sport following revision ACL reconstruction. Secondary outcomes were International Knee Documentation Committee score, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Tegner and Lysholm scores, KT-1000 arthrometer measurements, and rates of ACL rerupture. A subjective analysis was performed, and data were summarized using forest plots, ranges, and tables.
