Among the objective criteria retained, the isokinetic muscle strength assessment is an increasingly practiced evaluation and it is recommended to carry out follow-ups at 3-4 months (intermediate) and at 6-8 months (final) after surgery. However, the factors associated with muscle imbalance are uncertain and the threshold values of the intermediate isokinetic strength test (3-4 months) are inconsistent. In a retrospective analysis, the investigators aim to assess the predictive criteria for muscle imbalance after ACL reconstruction surgery.
