The purpose of this study was to evaluate differences in rehabilitation-specific outcomes between paediatric patients, adolescents and young adults within the first 2 years after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. A further aim was to determine whether patient age was associated with an increased risk of not achieving symmetrical muscle function within the first 2 years after ACL reconstruction.
The patient data in the present study were extracted from the rehabilitation outcome registry, Project ACL. Patients aged 11-25 years registered for primary ACL reconstruction with a hamstring tendon autograft between April 1, 2013 and November 23, 2020 were included. A total of 691 patients met the inclusion criteria and were included in the study; 41 paediatric patients (females 11-13, males 11-15 years), 347 adolescents (females 14-19, males 16-19 years) and 303 young adults (females 20-25, males 20-25 years).
The comparison between groups revealed that 70% of paediatric patients, 39% of adolescents and 35% of young adults had returned to knee-strenuous sport at 8 months and that 90% of paediatric patients, 71% of adolescents and 62% of young adults had returned to sport at 12 months. Paediatric patients also reported higher scores compared with both the other patient groups on the Knee Self-Efficacy Scale (K-SES) and the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Return to Sport after Injury scale (ACL-RSI) at 8 and 12 months.
A larger proportion of paediatric patients had returned to sport compared with adolescents and young adults 8 and 12 months after ACL reconstruction. Paediatric patients also reported higher self-efficacy and greater psychological readiness to return to sport at 8 and 12 months than the other two groups. No differences in terms of muscle function tests when comparing paediatric patients, adolescents and young adults were found.

本研究旨在评估前交叉韧带(ACL)重建后 2 年内,儿童患者、青少年和年轻成人在康复特定结局方面的差异。进一步的目的是确定患者年龄是否与 ACL 重建后 2 年内无法实现对称肌肉功能的风险增加有关。
本研究中的患者数据来自康复结局登记处,项目 ACL。纳入 2013 年 4 月 1 日至 2020 年 11 月 23 日期间接受 ACL 重建的年龄在 11-25 岁的自体腘绳肌腱的原发性 ACL 重建患者。共有 691 名患者符合纳入标准并被纳入研究;41 名儿童患者(女性 11-13 岁,男性 11-15 岁),347 名青少年(女性 14-19 岁,男性 16-19 岁)和 303 名年轻成人(女性 20-25 岁,男性 20-25 岁)。
组间比较显示,70%的儿童患者、39%的青少年和 35%的年轻成人在 8 个月时已重返膝关节剧烈运动,90%的儿童患者、71%的青少年和 62%的年轻成人在 12 个月时已重返运动。与其他两组相比,在 8 个月和 12 个月时,儿童患者在膝关节自我效能量表(K-SES)和前交叉韧带损伤后重返运动量表(ACL-RSI)上的评分也更高。
与 ACL 重建后 8 个月和 12 个月的青少年和年轻成人相比,更大比例的儿童患者已重返运动。与其他两组相比,儿童患者在 8 个月和 12 个月时的自我效能感和重返运动的心理准备程度更高。在肌肉功能测试方面,儿童患者、青少年和年轻成人之间没有差异。
