Abstract
Does Lack of Psychological Readiness Influence Reinjury in Athletes at Return to Play After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Surgery?
Clinical scenario: Psychological factors are becoming increasingly recognized when it comes to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rehabilitation. When it comes time for athletes to return to sports, they tend to feel anxious or fear getting hurt again. The purpose of this study is to determine if psychological readiness plays a part in an athlete's reinjury of an ACL after they have returned to sport post-ACLR surgery. Clinical question: Does lack of psychological readiness influence reinjury in athletes at return to play after ACL reconstruction surgery? Summary of key findings: Two high-quality cohort studies and one moderate-quality cross-sectional study were included in the critically appraised topic (CAT). Strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology (STROBE) was used to score the articles on methodology and consistency. Clinical bottom line: There is moderate evidence that supports that lower ACL-RSI scores correlate with a decreased readiness to return to sport following an ACL injury. Strength of recommendation: Grades 2 & 3 evidence supports the use of the ACL-RSI due to consistent findings across the three articles, two performed as cohort studies and one as a cross-sectional.
