Return to Play After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Bone Marrow Aspirate, Demineralized Bone Matrix, and an Internal Brace
Marshall University
Summary
The Investigators are studying the effect of an ACL reconstruction on return to play by capturing outcome measures and biomechanics information.
Description
At the pre-operative appointment, patients will be informed of the research study and have the option to participate. After informed consent, research subjects will provide baseline characteristics via survey from Code. This will include demographics (name, age, date of birth, height, weight, body mass index, smoking status, laterality, mechanism of injury, sport participation) and baseline PROs \[International Knee Documentation Form (IKDC) Subjective Knee Evaluation Form, Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) Global, Marx Activity Scale, visual analogue scores (VAS) pain, and A…
