Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Occurrence of a subsequent injury after return to sport	All patients will be asked in a cross sectional assessment, i.e. at one specific date (planned: May 31, 2021). The distance of this time point to the time of surgery will vary between 2 and 8 years.	This will be based on the self reporting by the patient
Time until return to sport	All patients will be asked in a cross sectional assessment, i.e. at one specific date (planned: May 31, 2021). The distance of this time point to the time of surgery will vary between 2 and 8 years.	This will be based on a self reporting by the patient.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Average Muscle Strength	At 1 year follow up.	Muscle strength is assessed by considering the flexion/extension ratio. This data will be collected retrospectively form the medical records,
Relative frequency of coping strategies	All patients will be asked in a cross sectional assessment, i.e. at one specific date (planned: May 31, 2021).
