Video Summary

Dr. Volker Musel discusses hypermobility and the risk of re-injury in ACL reconstruction. The study aimed to determine the 12-month risk of a second ACL injury in patients with and without hypermobility and assess their return to sport. Patients from the Swedish knee ligament register who underwent ACL reconstruction after 2014 were included. Results showed a higher rate of second ACL injury within 12 months in patients with hypermobility. Logistic regression revealed a 5.5-fold odds of second ACL injury in patients with hypermobility, with an even higher risk for contralateral injuries. The study suggests that assessing hypermobility in ACL-injured athletes is crucial for risk appraisal and individualized surgery.
