Excerpt

Parameters such as knee laxity, muscle force, hop tests, and patient-related outcome (PRO) scores are essential in evaluating patients after ACL reconstruction, and they can be especially useful when determining whether a patient is fit to return to sport after surgery. These parameters can also be used as tools to optimize treatment decisions (whether to operate or not), define the best time to operate [5], or reduce the reinjury risk at the time of return to sport [8]. …
