Objectives
This study compared the short term (24 month) clinical outcomes in a prospective, comparative case series of participant selected hamstring autograft and synthetic (LARS) ACL reconstructions.
Methods
64 ACL reconstructed participants (32 hamstring,32 LARS), completed a “goal-oriented” rehabilitation protocol. They were assessed for join...
Background
Additional high-quality prospective studies are needed to better define the objective criteria used in relation to return-to-sport decisions after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in active populations.
Purpose
To investigate prospectively the relationship between functional performance test results at 24 weeks postoperat...
Background:
Additional high-quality prospective studies are needed to better define the objective criteria used in relation to return-to-sport decisions after synthetic (ligament advanced reinforcement system [LARS]) and autograft (hamstring tendon [2ST/2GR]) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in active populations.
Purpose:
To pros...
Lower limb dominance (or lateral preference) could potentially effect functional performance. Clinicians are often asked to make judgements as to when a patient has sufficiently "recovered" from an injury, typically using strength and dynamic performance outcome measures. The primary purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature...

... As these authors note, synthetic ACL substitutes have historically had unacceptably high failure rates. The specific device that they used has generated acceptance among some surgeons 2,3,10,18,32 but also several unfavorable reports of frequent failures 12,30,33 and sporadic cases of intense synovitis 10,11,32 or foreign-body reaction. 31 The current authors attribute their success with the synthetic device to the strict requirement for remnant preservation and careful attention to tunnel positioning. ...

... Of the included studies, 7 had only male patients 5,26,28,29,31,39 , and 4 studies had a combination of male and female patients. 8,18,36,40 Soccer was identified as the predominant sport in the described on-field tests, followed by football, basketball, handball, volleyball, and lacrosse. All studies were published in the past 11 years, and 8 studies were published in the past 6 years. ...

... In the field of sports science, inter-limb asymmetries (IA) refer to discrepancies in athletic performance and function between two limbs that are not related to lateral dominance. These disparities can have a notable impact on athletic performance, and several studies have provided evidence of the relationship between IA and physical performance outcomes [1][2][3][4][5]. Moreover, recent research, such as that conducted by Fox et al. [5] and Ličen and Kozinc [4], has suggested that IA may negatively affect performance, particularly in high-intensity tasks that require coordinated use of both lower limbs, such as the change of direction speed (CODS). ...
