High risk of new knee injuries, lower activity level and reduced knee function: A controlled follow-up of male football (soccer) players 6–9 years after primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
One-third of male football players with ACLR sustained a new ACL injury within 6-9 years, with an almost 5-fold higher risk than controls. Players with ACLR had lower activity level and knee function and were less satisfied with knee function and activity level.
