  2. 1. Treatment Decision after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury, and Evaluation of Measurement Properties of a Patient Reported Outcome Measure

    Author : Hanna Tigerstrand Grevnerts; Joanna Kvist; Sofi Sonesson; Håkan Gauffin; Clare Ardern; Eva Ageberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; anterior cruciate ligament injury; ACL; ACL reconstruction; ACLR; choice of treatment; IKDC; measurement properties; evaluation;

    Abstract : Background: After an ACL injury, treatment aims to restore knee function. Evaluation of treatment progress is important, and adequate measurement methods are necessary. The International Knee Documentation Committee- Subjective Knee Form (IKDC-SKF) is a common patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) used after ACL injury. READ MORE

  4. 2. Patience you must have, my young athlete - Rehabilitation specific outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

    Author : Susanne Beischer; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ACL; adolescent; knee; physical therapy; predictors; psychological aspects of sport; return to sport; reconstruction; subsequent ACL injury;

    Abstract : An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common knee-related injuries, usually occurring in younger individuals during sports participation. Moreover, almost 1 in 4 of younger athletes sustain a subsequent ACL injury once they return to sport (RTS). READ MORE

  5. 3. Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction - Early predictors of outcome

    Author : Thorkell Snaebjörnsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Knee; ACL; registry; hamstring tendon; anterior cruciate ligament; patellar tendon; graft failure; graft fixation; graft diameter; autograft; revision; outcome;

    Abstract : The rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a serious injury, often resulting in functional instability and increased laxity of the knee joint. Patients suffering an ACL injury run the risk of further complications, such as meniscal or cartilage injury in the short term and degeneration of the knee joint in the long term. READ MORE

  6. 4. Revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction - current evidence, predictors and outcome

    Author : Eleonor Svantesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; anterior cruciate ligament; ACL; reconstruction; revision; medial collateral ligament; MCL; knee;

    Abstract : Despite extensive research in the field of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, primary ACL reconstruction failure and a high re-rupture rate remain a problem. Far too many patients experience a second devastating hit – the need to undergo a revision ACL reconstruction. READ MORE

  7. 5. Kinematics and laxity in the knee, before and after Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction. Evaluation using dynamic and static radiostereometric analysis

    Author : Jonas Isberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : ACL; KT-1000; early reconstruction; early extension; kinematics; laxity; RSA;

    Abstract : Introduction: Whether full active and passive extension training, started immediately after an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction, will increase the post-operative A-P laxity of the knee has been the subject of discussion. For many years, many protocols have included full extension with full weight bearing after an ACL reconstruction. READ MORE
