    The study evaluated correlations between functional performance tests, clinical measurements, and PROM scores one year after ACL reconstruction.

  • 2

    Results showed no clinically important correlations between PROM scores and functional or clinical measures in patients post-ACLR.

  • 3

    PROM scores are often prioritized in clinical settings, but this study questions their representativeness of overall treatment outcomes.

  • 4

    The study included 151 patients who underwent primary ACLR and completed a standardized rehabilitation program.

  • 5

    Findings suggest that relying solely on PROMs may not adequately reflect functional recovery after ACL reconstruction.
