The effect of time and sex on post-anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction psychological patient reported outcome measure scores

CONCLUSIONS: Males report higher ACL-RSI and I-PRRS scores compared to females in the initial stages of rehabilitation, but scores converge between sexes at times associated with return to play following ACLR. Normative reference curves can be used to objectively appraise patients' ACL-RSI and I-PRRS scores at any time point post-ACLR. This may lead to timely identification of patients with scores or changes in scores over time post-ACLR associated with a maladaptive psychological response to injury and a poor prognosis and optimized ACLR outcomes.PMID:38014794 | DOI:10.4085/1062-6050-0189.23
