Alpha angle and anterior femoral neck offset identify different cohorts of cam morphology: an osteologic study

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Used on Patients With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
Patient-reported knee-related rating scores and scales are widely used in reporting the clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery. Understanding the psychometric properties of such measures is vital to recognizing the limitations that such measures may confer. The aim of this study was to review the available evidence as to the psychometric properties of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) used in ACL surgery.
