Research involving long-term follow-up of patients after successful anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) has shown that return-to-sport rates are not as good as would be expected despite many patients' having normal knee-function scores. The psychological component, specifically fear of reinjury, plays a critical role in determining patients' return to play and is frequently underestimated. Little is known about the recognition and intervention from the therapist's perspective.
