Overview
The aim is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of a screening tool to identify patients who undergo ACL reconstruction (non-copers) after 3 months of standard rehabilitation following an anterior Cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.
Description
All included patients are referred to municipal rehabilitation to resolve effusion and range of motion deficits before the first screening (baseline screening) is completed. Hereafter the patients follow 3 months municipal rehabilitation before the second screening (3 months screening). A physiotherapist performs the screening and at the second screening, this is performed prior to consulting an orthopaedic surgeon.
