Hospital for Special Surgery ACL Registry: 2-Year Outcomes Suggest Low Revision and Return to OR Rates.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are among the most common knee injuries. Patient outcomes, rate of subsequent operations, and rate of subsequent ACL reconstruction following primary ACL reconstruction need to be evaluated.

Questions/purposes

This study was designed to answer the following questions: (1) What is the return to surgery (OR) rate following primary ACL reconstruction and (2) what is the revision ACL reconstruction rate?

Methods

Data was drawn from the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) ACL Registry. International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Evaluation, Lysholm-Tegner Scales, Marx Activity Scale, and SF12 were completed by patients at baseline, 1-, and 2-year follow-up.
