Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
GNRB measurement of antero-posterior laxity of the knee [1 year post-surgery]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Anterior knee pain Scale (AKPSA)[1 year post-surgery];MARX activity - this aims to find out the general level of activity of the patient<br>[6 months, 1 year and 2 years post-surgery];Re-rupture rate based on reporting in the ACL registry[2 years post-surgery];Hamstring strength using a Biodex machine[1 year post-surgery];Presence of rotational laxity of the ACL as measured by Pivot shift test[1 year post surgery];KOOS score - five domains that looks at the outcomes following knee surgery with respect to pain, symptoms, activities of daily living, sporting and recreation function and knee related quality of life.[6 months, 1 year and 2 years post-surgery];KNEES-ACL score - patient outcome measure specific to the ACL function[6 months, 1 year and 2 years post-surgery];Quadriceps strength using a Biodex machine[1 year post-surgery];Hamstring strength as measured with a bode machine[1 year post-surgery]
