Abstract
Although surgery to fix a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is common, knowing when it is safe to return to activities and sports after ACL reconstruction is not always clear. As part of their rehabilitation, patients often fill out surveys, such as the International Knee Documentation Committee survey, that ask questions about how patients think they are recovering. It is not clear, though, how well these surveys truly predict an athlete's readiness to get back to activities and sports. A study published in the December 2014 issue of JOSPT provides new insight and evidence-based tools to help answer this question.
