Single leg hop for distance symmetry masks lower limb biomechanics: time to discuss hop distance as decision criterion for return to sport after ACL reconstruction?

Argyro Kotsifaki et al.

Summary: Significant differences were observed in kinematics, joint moments, and joint work contribution between the involved and uninvolved legs of athletes after ACLR, as well as between ACLR athletes and healthy controls. Athletes after ACLR achieved high limb symmetry in hop distance, but lower symmetry in knee work during propulsion. They compensated for this by increased hip work contribution and landing with more hip flexion, anterior pelvis tilt, and trunk flexion.

Predicting Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reinjury From Return-to-Activity Assessments at 6 Months Postsurgery: A Prospective Cohort Study

Stephan G. Bodkin et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the best predictors of return-to-activity (RTA) and secondary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury at least 2 years after ACL reconstruction (ACLR) based on patient function measures at 6 months post-ACLR. The results showed that greater knee-extension symmetry and quadriceps strength symmetry at 6 months post-ACLR increased the likelihood of reinjury. Delaying RTA reduced the risk of reinjury.

Disparities in ACL Reconstruction: the Influence of Gender and Race on Incidence, Treatment, and Outcomes

Sai K. Devana et al.

Summary: ACL rupture is a common injury with gender disparities in incidence and outcomes, as females are at higher risk for injury but have lower return to sport rates. Males, despite lower injury rates, undergo ACL reconstruction more frequently. There is also evidence of worse functional outcomes and biomechanical metrics in females following ACLR. Limited direct evidence suggests racial and ethnic disparities with white athletes having a greater risk of ACL injury and black and Hispanic patients facing delays in treatment and disparities in surgical outcomes.
