Keane, Niamh and Devitt, Brian M. et al. (2025) Psychological Readiness is the Main Barrier to Return to Play After Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction. Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 13 (9). ISSN 2325-9671
Abstract
Despite advances in modern surgical techniques, return-to-play (RTP) rates after revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (R-ACLR) often fall short of patients’ expectations. There is growing awareness that a patient’s psychological recovery is as important as the functional recovery of their knee.
