TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Depression and psychiatric disease associated with outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction JO - World J Orthop A1 - Wu, Hao-Hua A1 - Liu, Max A1 - Dines, Joshua S. A1 - Kelly, John D. A1 - Garcia, Grant H. SP - 709 EP - 717 VL - 7 IS - 11 N2 - While most patients with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury indicate satisfaction with surgical intervention, a significant proportion still do not return to pre-injury level of function or sport. Psychiatric comorbidities, such as depression, have recently been associated with poor clinical outcomes after ACL reconstruction (ACLR). To date, no article has yet examined how depression affects ACLR outcomes and how potential screening and intervention for psychological distress may affect postoperative activity level. The purpose of this review is to delineate potential relationships between depression and ACLR outcome, discuss clinical implications and identify future directions for research.
