Patients who were surgically treated with ACL reconstruction at a single clinic between 2013 and 2018 will be approached by a questionnaire regarding their return to sport after surgery. Questions will focus on the timepoint of the return, subsequent injuries, and the impact of the initial injury on the life of the patients. In addition, existing clinical data from the baseline visit and from the follow-up visits offered routinely to the patient will be used.
