Sammendrag
This prospective cohort study suggests that there are few differences in the 2 year clinical
course between ACL-injured patients who choose nonsurgical and surgical treatment. While surgically
treated patients had a significantly higher crude risk of knee reinjury, there was no significant
difference in the risk after adjusting for age and preinjury sports participation. Patients in both groups
showed large improvements in knee function; however, at 2 years, one fifth of patients reported knee
reinjuries and a considerable number of patients still exhibited functional deficits. Future work on how
to identify and better treat the patients who will have an unsatisfactory outcome is needed.
