Defining Thresholds for the Patient Acceptable Symptom State for the IKDC Subjective Knee Form and KOOS for Patients Who Underwent ACL Reconstruction

Conclusion:
To our knowledge, this is the first study to identify the PASS thresholds for the IKDC-SKF and the KOOS subscales for individuals 1 to 5 years after ACL reconstruction. By identifying threshold values for the PASS, this study provides additional information to facilitate interpretation of the IKDC-SKF and KOOS in daily practice and clinical research related to ACL reconstruction.
