The Presence of high-grade pivot shift test pre-operatively is associated with inferior functional outcomes

CONCLUSIONS: The high-grade pivot shift is associated with chronic ACL tear (>6 months) and concomitant lateral meniscus tear. The presence of high-grade pivot shift pre-operatively is associated with inferior clinical outcomes and lower rate of return to sports.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: : Level IV, case-control study.PMID:33910466 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2021.1924047
