Identifying risk factors for inferior outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is important for prognosis and patient information. This study aimed to ascertain if BMI, pre-operative scores, demographic data and concomitant injuries in patients undergoing ACLR affected patient-reported functional outcomes. A prospective review collected data from a single surgeon series of 278 patients who underwent arthroscopic ACLR. BMI, age, gender, graft choice, pre-op Lysholm score, meniscal and chondral injuries were recorded. The Lysholm score, hop test and KT1000 were used to measure post-op functional outcome at one year. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine factors that predicted Lysholm scores at one year.Abstract
