Changes in Coronal Plane Alignment and Functional Outcomes Following Primary ACL Reconstruction: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis

Key Points

• Coronal plane alignment significantly affects functional outcomes post-ACL reconstruction, impacting joint stability.
• The study observes a noteworthy change in alignment metrics, with findings highlighting improved outcomes in 75% of participants.
• Retrospective cohort analysis evaluates data from previous ACL surgeries to connect alignment with recovery metrics.
• Implications emphasize the need for targeted rehabilitation strategies to enhance joint function and stability post-surgery.
