ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a tool called the Turkish version of the Tegner Activity Score, which helps measure how active people are after having surgery for a knee injury, specifically a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The researchers want to find out if this score is a reliable and accurate way to assess activity levels in Turkish-speaking patients and learn about its importance in understanding recovery after surgery.

To participate in this study, you need to be at least 18 years old and scheduled for surgery to fix a torn ACL. Unfortunately, if you have certain medical conditions, such as autoimmune diseases or cognitive issues that make it hard to fill out forms, or if you are not fluent in Turkish, you won’t be eligible to join. If you do participate, you can expect to complete some questionnaires about your activity levels, which will help improve how doctors understand recovery for future patients.
