Clinical outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament injury: panther symposium ACL injury clinical outcomes consensus group.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

A stringent outcome assessment is a key aspect for establishing evidence-based clinical guidelines for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury treatment. The aim of this consensus statement was to establish what data should be reported when conducting an ACL outcome study, what specific outcome measurements should be used and at what follow-up time those outcomes should be assessed.

Methods

The group reached consensus on nine statements by using a modified Delphi method.
