Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old who are scheduled for surgery due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with metabolic or autoimmune diseases, those undergoing revision surgeries, or individuals with cognitive impairments may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Tegner Activity Score in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. It will evaluate whether this scale accurately reflects patient activity levels and determine its minimal clinically important difference and substantial clinical benefit values. The study will involve collecting data from participants who meet specific eligibility criteria, focusing on their experiences and outcomes related to knee injuries.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a reliable tool for assessing activity levels in Turkish-speaking patients with knee injuries, leading to better treatment and rehabilitation strategies.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in validating activity scores in different languages, suggesting that this approach may yield useful results.
