Overview
This retrospective, prospective observational study aims to evaluate the epidemiology and rate of anterior cruciate ligament re- rupture after surgery in patients treated from January 2020 to December 2030 by recording both clinically and radiographically ligament reconstruction.
The primary outcome is the rate of rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament as measured by the Lachmann test in which a positive value for re-rupture is an anterior translation of the tibia greater than 10mm relative to the femur Secondary Objectives: Verify predisposing factors to anterior cruciate ligament injuries (so anatomical factors such as tibial slope, trochlear groove), demographic factors (age, sex, weight, sports played), and the rate of return to sports, quality of life via questionnaires, and arthrosis at the operated knee
