What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This clinical trial aims to investigate the correlation between psychological readiness, knee function, and isokinetic performance after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using the Peroneus Longus tendon graft (PLT). ACL injuries are common among athletes, and the standard treatment is ACL reconstruction surgery (ACLR). However, the success of the surgery does not solely depend on physical recovery but also on the psychological readiness of athletes to return to their sport. This study focuses on athletes who have undergone ACLR using the Peroneus Longus tendon (PLT). The primary objective is to compare psychological readiness, self-reported knee function (IKDC score), isokinetic performance (quadriceps and hamstring strength), and muscle strength ratios between athletes who meet return-to-sport (RTS) criteria and those who do not. Psychological readiness will be assesse
