Abstract:
BACKGROUND:There are many methods for evaluating anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. However, doctors always like to assess the outcome with the objective criteria, such as range of motion and imaging examinations, and patient satisfaction is little considered.OBJECTIVE:To explore the factors that may influence the patient satisfaction after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. METHODS:Ninety-eight patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were enroled, including 58 male and 40 female patients, and the average age was 27.4 years old. All patients were followed up (average 17.5 months) to investigate the patient satisfaction. The factors related to the satisfaction were analyzed, such as age, follow-up time, sex, injured knee, mental health, education, economic situation, postoperative athletic ability, and International Knee Documentation Committee scores. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After the follow-up, 72.4% patients said that they were satisfied with the outcome, and 27.6% dissatisfied with the outcome. The mental health, economy situation, postoperative athletic ability, and International Knee Documentation Committee scores were significantly related to the patient satisfaction (P < 0.05). To conclude, improved living and medical standard, intensive communication and psychological counseling, as well as rational postoperative rehabilitation scheme can improve the patient satisfaction after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
