Pre-operative Static Anterior Tibial Translation Assessed on MRI Does Not Influence Return to Sport or Satisfaction After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

ConclusionThe degree of pre-operative ATT in an ACL-deficient knee was not correlated with return to sport or satisfaction after ACL reconstruction. In this study cohort, only failed-ACL reconstruction patients undergoing revision ACL reconstruction were significantly less likely to return to their main sport. They were also less likely to return to sport at their pre-operative level, if they did return to sport.
