Key Points

This research aims to identify which outcome measure, KOOS or IKDC, better captures symptoms and disabilities important to patients post-ACL reconstruction.
Cross-sectional study design with 126 participants from an online knee forum.
Online questionnaire included demographic data, surgical data, Tegner Activity Scale, and items from KOOS and IKDC.
Calculated item importance, frequency, and frequency-importance product for the items.
78% of IKDC items were experienced by over half of the patients, compared to 57% for KOOS.
94% of IKDC items had a frequency-importance product of 1 or less for patients over 12 months post-surgery, versus 86% for KOOS items.
The KOOS Function in Sports/Recreation and Quality of Life subscales outperformed IKDC in total cohort analysis.
