Return-to-Sport and Physical Activity Outcomes in Young Adults With Ongoing Knee Symptoms After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction From the SUPER-Knee Trial

Key Points

• This research aims to examine the return-to-sport rates in young adults experiencing ongoing knee symptoms post-ACLR.
• Examined return to sport rates among young adults with knee symptoms after ACL reconstruction
• Measured physical activity sessions pre-injury and 9 to 36 months post-surgery
• Assessed limb symmetry using single-forward hop tests
• Return to sport rates were low among participants with ongoing knee symptoms after ACLR
• Median number of weekly physical activity sessions remained unchanged pre-injury and post-surgery
• Achieving ≥90% limb symmetry in hop tests correlated with a higher likelihood of returning to sport
