Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether fully rehabilitated ACL reconstructed (ACLr) recreational athletes utilize adapted lower-extremity joint kinematics and kinetics during a high-demand functional task.
Methods: The kinematic and kinetic performance of 11 healthy and 11 hamstring ACLr recreational athletes were compared during a 60-cm vertical drop landing.
Results: At initial ground contact, the ACLr group demonstrated greater hip extension and ankle plantarflexion compared with the healthy group. The peak vertical ground-reaction force was not different between groups, but the ACLr group delayed the time to its occurrence. The knee extensors provided the major energy absorption function for both groups; however, the ACLr group performed 37% more ankle plantarflexor work and 39% less hip extensor work compared with the healthy group.
Conclusions: The hamstring ACLr recreational athletes utilized an adapted landing strategy that employed the hip extensor muscles less and the ankle plantarflexor muscles more. The harvesting of the medial hamstring muscles for ACL reconstruction may contribute to the utilization of this protective landing strategy.

Objective To compare the five-year subjective functional outcomes of single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with three different femoral tunnel positions under arthroscopic guidance. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 165 patients who underwent ACLR at the Department of Sports Traumatology,Sports Hospital,National Institute of Sports Medicine,General Administration of Sport of China from January 2012 to December 2017.According to femoral tunnel positions,the patients were assigned into three groups of low centre (LC)section (=53),high centre (HC) section (=45),and high anterior medial (HAM) section (=67).

Background: The incidence of knee osteoarthritis after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is high to 57%, and the biomechanical abnormality during walking is one of the reasons. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks of knee extension constraint training on walking biomechanics during the stance phase of injured side after ACLR.
Methods: Forty-five patients were randomly assigned to three groups based on different brace conditions from 13 weeks to 24 weeks after ACLR: experimental (brace with knee extension constraint), placebo (brace without knee extension constraint), and control (no brace).

Background: The return-to-sports rate is often used as an outcome measure after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR). Although most soccer players want to return to sports after their ACL injury, up to 40% do not believe they will return to soccer after their ACL injury.
Purpose: To investigate whether self-reported presurgical beliefs regarding return to soccer correspond to registered official match participation after ACLR.
