Background: The Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) cutoff is the value on a patient-reported outcome measure beyond which patients consider themselves to be "feeling well." There are limited data regarding the PASS threshold for non-English versions of the International Knee Documentation Committee-Subjective Knee Form (IKDC-SKF).
Purpose: To establish the PASS cutoff for the Thai version of the IKDC-SKF for patients undergoing primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and to identify factors to achieve PASS after surgery.

Method: A retrospective cohort study was conducted. The study reviewed 81 elbow radiographs.
