Purpose: To investigate if patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), functional tests and clinical measures correlate well in children after reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). It was hypothesized that these outcomes correlate, so it is sufficient to report only one of them. Methods: A consecutive group of children (< 16 years old) who had an ACL reconstruction, were prospectively followed and assessed after 1-year with Pedi-IKDC and KOOS-Child, instrumented laxity measurement, range of motion, extension strength and four performance tests. Relations between the different outcomes were calculated by partial correlation coefficient analysis, controlling for gender, age, height, and weight. Results: Outcomes were available for 141 of 163 children. There were only few positive and weak correlations between performance tests and PROM scores and between clinical measurements and PROM scores. There were weak to strong correlations between the scores from Pedi-IKDC and the scores from each of the five domains of KOOS-Child and a weak to moderate correlation between the different domains of KOOS-Child. Similar correlations were found between the different performance tests. Conclusion: For children who had their ACL reconstructed there was no clinically important correlation between scores obtained by PROMs, a battery of functional performance tests and instrumented laxity of the knee at 1-year follow-up. This is an argument for always to include and report all three types of outcomes. Level of evidence: Level II.
