“…However, some of these authors did not perform any comparisons between intra-articular reconstruction alone and combined reconstruction. 23,[32][33][34][35][36][37] Another important finding was pointed out by Pernin et al, 37 who concluded in a very long-term follow-up study of 24.5 years that factors negatively affecting the development of OA were total medial meniscectomy and articular cartilage damage.…”

“…Similarly, motivation for sport was estimated by direct questioning using a Likerttype test. In contrast, recent studies use the identification of an athlete's locus of control to define the importance of sport in his/her life, and indicate that it is a key variable in the return to sport [26][27][28].…”

“…Other factors, such as lifestyle changes, occupational demands, and loss of motivation, as well as perceived self-efficacy, may contribute to whether or not individuals return to play at any given level. 10,20,21 Little is known, however, about how these factors affect a person's decision or ability to return to sport.…”

Context: Return-to-sport criteria after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury are often based on “satisfactory” functional and patient-reported outcomes. However, an individual's decision to return to sport is likely multifactorial; psychological and physical readiness to return may not be synonymous. Objective: To determine the psychosocial factors that influence the decision to return to sport in athletes 1 year post–ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Design: Qualitative study. Setting: Academic medical center. Patients or Other Participants: Twelve participants (6 males, 6 females) were purposefully chosen from a large cohort. Participants were a minimum of 1-year postsurgery and had been active in competitive athletics preinjury. Data Collection and Analysis: Data were collected via semistructured interviews. Qualitative analysis using a descriptive phenomenologic process, horizontalization, was used to derive categories and themes that represented the data. The dynamic-biopsychosocial model was used as a theoretical framework to guide this study. Results: Six predominant themes emerged that described the participants' experiences after ACLR: (1) hesitation and lack of confidence led to self-limiting tendencies, (2) awareness was heightened after ACLR, (3) expectations and assumptions about the recovery process influenced the decision to return to sport after ACLR, (4) coming to terms with ACL injury led to a reprioritization, (5) athletic participation helped reinforce intrinsic personal characteristics, and (6) having a strong support system both in and out of rehabilitation was a key factor in building a patient's confidence. We placed themes into components of the dynamic-biopsychosocial model to better understand how they influenced the return to sport. Conclusions: After ACLR, the decision to return to sport was largely influenced by psychosocial factors. Factors including hesitancy, lack of confidence, and fear of reinjury are directly related to knee function and have the potential to be addressed in the rehabilitation setting. Other factors, such as changes in priorities or expectations, may be independent of physical function but remain relevant to the patient-clinician relationship and should be considered during postoperative rehabilitation.
