Overview

Prospective analysis shows psychological readiness and stress change over time post ACL reconstruction, indicating age and sex discrepancies.

Key Points

  • Psychological readiness significantly improved after ACL reconstruction, with scores rising from 62.6 to 76.4 over 24 months.
  • Younger patients (10-14 years) reported lower psychological stress compared with older age groups at 24 months, indicating age differences.
  • Males showed better psychological stress scores than females at 24 months post-ACL reconstruction, revealing sex differences.
  • Ongoing long-term research is necessary to address and target psychological stress in specific populations post-ACL reconstruction.
