Does self-reported fear predict functional performance and second ACL injury in patients after ACL reconstruction returning to sport?
Self-reported fear of movement or reinjury after ACL reconstruction may predict functional performance and second ACL injury, suggesting it should be incorporated into discharge criteria.
Self-reported fear of movement/reinjury after ACLR at the time of RTS may be an important measure to incorporate into discharge criteria prior to release to return to pivoting and cutting sports after ACLR.
Paterno et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
