Comparison of Impairments, Activity Limitations, Balance, and Quality of Life between Patients with and without Meniscus Repair or Partial Meniscectomy Post-ACL Reconstruction

(1) Background: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a crucial ligament in the knee joint. This study compares the differences in knee range of motion (ROM), knee proprioception error, balance, function, and quality of life (QOL) among participants with and without meniscus repair or partial meniscectomy nine months post ACL reconstruction. (2) Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 57 male participants were selected through convenience sampling from a tertiary care hospital. Knee flexion and extension ROM were assessed using a digital goniometer; a digital inclinometer was used to assess knee proprioception error; the Y balance test was used to evaluate balance; the lower extremity functional scale (LEFS) was used to assess activity; and QOL was assessed using the ACLQOL questionnaire. (3) Results: There were no significant differences in outcomes except balance. The YB composite score had a moderate negative correlation with knee proprioception error with an R-value of −0.372 **. (4) Conclusions: Nine to 12 months post ACL reconstruction, the isolated ACL reconstruction participants had better lower-quarter single-leg balance than those who underwent ACL reconstruction and meniscal repair or partial meniscectomy. The remaining parameters, like knee ROM, knee proprioception error, LEFS score, and ACLQOL scores, were similar between these two groups.
