Secondary objectives
knee ACL rupture, synovitis, pain, effusion, arthrofibrosis
RSI, SYNOVITIS, COMPLICATION, STERILE, SECONDARY, EFFUSION, COMPLICATIONS, ARTHROFIBROSIS
The secondary objectives are to compare PROMs, complication rates, return to sport rates and examination findings between SA and ST ACLR. The PROMs assessed will include the Marx activity scale, ACL RSI, IKDC, the KOOS QOL and the EQ5D-5L scale. Complications assessed will include post-operative pain levels, graft failure rates, contralateral knee ACL rupture, return to theatre and findings including rates of particulate-related synovitis, sterile effusion, persistent effusion and symptomatic arthrofibrosis of the knee. Return to sport data will include rates of return to sport, timing of return to sport and rates of return to the previous level of the sport. Examination findings assessed will include the presence of effusion, knee range of motion and the presence and grade of the Lachman test, anterior drawer and pivot shift tests.
