Greater self-efficacy, psychological readiness and return to sport amongst paediatric patients compared with adolescents and young adults, 8 and 12 months after ACL reconstruction
Open accessAbstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate differences in rehabilitation‐specific outcomes between paediatric patients, adolescents and young adults within the first 2 years after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. A further aim was to determine whether patient age was associated with an increased risk of not achieving symmetrical muscle function within the first 2 years after ACL reconstruction. Methods: The patient data in the present study were extracted from the rehabilitation outcome registry, Project ACL. Patients aged 11–25 years registered for primary ACL reconstruction with a hamstring tendon autograft between April 1, 2013 and November 23, 2020 were included. A total of 691 patients met the inclusion criteria and were included in the study; 41 paediatric patients (females 11–13, males 11–15 years), 347 adolescents (females 14–19, males 16–19 years) and 303 young adults (females 20–25, males 20–25 years). Results: The comparison between groups revealed that 70% of paediatric patients, 39% of adolescents and 35% of young adults had returned to knee‐strenuous sport at 8 months and that 90% of paediatric patients, 71% of adolescents and 62% of young adults had returned to sport at 12 months. Paediatric patients also reported higher scores compared with both the other patient groups on the Knee Self‐Efficacy Scale (K‐SES) and the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Return to Sport after Injury scale (ACL‐RSI) at 8 and 12 months. Conclusions: A larger proportion of paediatric patients had returned to sport compared with adolescents and young adults 8 and 12 months after ACL reconstruction. Paediatric patients also reported higher self‐efficacy and greater psychological readiness to return to sport at 8 and 12 months than the other two groups. No differences in terms of muscle function tests when comparing paediatric patients, adolescents and young adults were found. Level of evidence: II.

Thorolfsson et al. (2023) reported a mean ACL-RSI score of 71 in a group of 347 adolescents with a mean age of 17.1 years at a similar post-operative timepoint.
“This trend is corroborated by the work of Thorolfsson et al. (2023) who reported a mean ACL-RSI score of 71 in a group of 347 adolescents with a mean age of 17.1 years at a similar post-operative timepoint (Thorolfsson et al., 2023).”

Table 2 (Results; page not provided) identifies 347 adolescents with a mean age of 17.1 years. Table 4 (Results, Patient-reported outcome measurements; page not provided) reports a mean ACL-RSI score of 71.0 at eight months, but only 243 adolescents contributed ACL-RSI scores at that follow-up, not all 347.

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.
