Demographic and surgical characteristics in patients who do not achieve minimal important change in the KOOS Sport/Rec and QoL after ACL reconstruction: a comparative study from the Swedish National Knee Ligament Registry.

Patients with no MIC for KOOS Sport/Rec and QoL subscales had a higher BMI, longer time from injury to surgery and were younger at the time of surgery compared with patients who did achieve MIC. Although differences were small, they may reframe management strategies with patients who have these characteristics.
