What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating how preoperative exercise habits affect knee function and recurrence rates in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. This study compares knee function at 1, 2, and 5 years after surgery between patients who had regular exercise before surgery and those who did not. It also examines the impact of maintaining exercise habits after surgery on knee function and recurrence of injury. Participants are divided into groups based on their exercise habits before and after surgery. These groups include those who exercised regularly before surgery, those who did not, and those who either maintained or did not maintain exercise habits after surgery. All patients receive standardized ACL reconstruction surgery and follow a rehabilitation program that includes running starting 3 months post-surgery. The study follows participants for up to 5 years. During the study, knee function and exercise levels are assessed using questionnaires at multiple points: 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years after surgery. Researchers measure outcomes with tools such as the Lysholm knee score, IKDC score, Tegner score, and Beighton Score. They also track the rate of ACL injury recurrence. These evaluations help understand the role of exercise habits in recovery and long-term knee health after ACL reconstruction.
