Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether the return to level I sports, concomitant injuries, foot-related problems, and other factors would increase the risk of knee reinjury after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
Methods: This study used a prospective cohort study design. Online enrolment from August 2018 to January 2019 in ACL Community Indonesia recruited 148 patients who had undergone ACLR less than one month prior to injury.
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is the standard surgical treatment for ACL injury, which typically uses a graft to replace the torn ligament in the knee that uses small incisions with minimally invasive surgery. The optimal knee functions following ACLR depend on rehabilitation processes before and after the surgery. Knee function is the ability of the knee to perform various types of functional movements like walking, squatting, running, jumping, and pivoting where patients expect to achieve maximum knee function or at least more than 80% of its initial condition before the injury to avoid being categorized as poor knee function after ACLR.

Design: Cross-sectional study.
Setting: The LKS and TAS were translated into Indonesian through standardized procedures with the owners' permission, and the test-retest reliabilities, validities, and responsiveness were performed.
Objectives: The extent to which knee functions improve after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) varies. This study aimed to determine the factors that affect lower knee function improvement after two years of ACLR.
Methods: The study included 159 patients who underwent ACLR in the Indonesian ACL community between August 2018 and April 2020.
