Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to present recommendations for new muscle strength and hop performance criteria prior to a return to sports after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Methods: A search was made of relevant literature relating to muscle function, self‐reported questionnaires on symptoms, function and knee‐related quality of life, as well as the rate of re‐injury, the rate of return to sports and the development of osteoarthritis after ACL reconstruction. The literature was reviewed and discussed by the European Board of Sports Rehabilitation in order to reach consensus on criteria for muscle strength and hop performance prior to a return to sports. Results: The majority of athletes that sustain an (ACL) injury do not successfully return to their pre‐injury sport, even though most athletes achieve what is considered to be acceptable muscle function. On self‐reported questionnaires, the athletes report high ratings for fear of re‐injury, low ratings for their knee function during sports and low ratings for their knee‐related quality of life. Conclusion: The conclusion is that the muscle function tests that are commonly used are not demanding enough or not sensitive enough to identify differences between injured and non‐injured sides. Recommendations for new criteria are given for the sports medicine community to consider, before allowing an athlete to return to sports after an ACL reconstruction. Level of evidence: IV.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
