Why the study?
Does self-reported fear predict functional performance and second ACL injury in patients after ACL reconstruction returning to sport?
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.
Fear assessment at RTS may identify high-risk patients; leaves open whether modifying fear reduces reinjury risk in trials.
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.
