Effect of Patient Resilience on Return to Sport Post ACL Reconstruction Surgery

Completed

Conditions studied: Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

In brief

Despite the large majority of patients that undergo ACL reconstruction reporting successful outcomes in regard to tests of knee function, only about 2/3 return to their prior level or athletic activity after surgery. A large amount of research has been conducted investigating the effects of psychological factors on return to sports after ACL reconstruction; however, the specific role of resilience has yet to be solely analyzed. This study aims to determine the effect of variations in patient resilience on their return to sports after surgery.
