Biopsychosocial Factors Associated With Return to Preinjury Sport After ACL Injury Treated Without Reconstruction: NACOX Cohort Study 12-Month Follow-up.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The limited research on prognosis after nonsurgical management of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury has focused on physical factors. We aimed to assess relationships between key patient-reported outcomes, in line with a biopsychosocial approach, and returning to preinjury sport at 12 months after ACL injury treated without reconstruction.

Hypothesis

We hypothesized that biopsychosocial factors would be associated with returning to preinjury sport at 12 months after ACL injury.

Study design

Prospective single cohort study.

Level of evidence

Level 2.

Methods

Patients who had an ACL injury and did not have reconstruction during the first year after injury were recruited from healthcare clinics in Sweden, and followed up at 3, 6, and 12 mont
