Return to Play Statistics Post ACLR

Sixty-nine articles, reporting on 7556 participants, on return to sport post ACL reconstruction were reviewed. 

On average, 81% of people returned to any sport, 65% returned to their pre-injury level of sport and 55% returned to competitive level sport after surgery.

Returning to sport varied according to different physical functioning and contextual factors, which could warrant additional emphasis in postoperative rehabilitation programmes to maximise participation.
