Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objectives are to describe the anterior-posterior translation, medial-lateral translation, proximal-distal translation, internal-external rotation, varus-valgus rotation as a function of flexion and knee state (intact contralateral control, ACL and lateral soft tissue injured, ACL and LES reconstructed). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary objectives are: to evaluate the integrity of the LES reconstruction; and determination of patient subjective outcomes using questionnaires (IKDC, KOOS and the Tegner questionnaire). | — |
