Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale	1st day	• The Lysholm scale was developed for use by physicians and has been verified in patients with Anterior Cruciate Ligament and meniscal injuries. It's also been approved as a patient-administered tool for assessing symptoms and function in people who have had a variety of knee injuries. The Lysholm scale assesses the domains of symptoms and complaints, as well as functioning in daily activities, however, it doesn't assess the area of sports and recreational activities. There are 8 items on this questionnaire and graded on a scale of 0 to 100, with higher scores suggesting fewer symptoms and better function.
International Knee Documentation Committee Questionnaire	1st day	The IKDC is a patient-completed questionnaire that comprises sections on tibiofemoral joint physical signs (7 items), function (2 items), and sports activities (3 things) (2 items). Scores vary from 0 to 100, with 0 being the lowest degree of function and 100 demonstrating the uppermost level of physical signs.
Kujala Anterior Knee Pain Scale	1st day	Kujala Anterior Knee Pain Scale - a patient-reported evaluation of subjective symptoms and functional limitations in patients with patellofemoral diseases, was published.
