Table 2:

A table comparing patient-reported outcomes at the time of enrollment and 2-year follow-up: a comparison is made between operative and nonoperative management of grade III MCL injuries. All patients had ACLRs. Patients with operatively managed MCL injuries had worse scores in terms of KOOS symptoms, pain, ADL, sports/recreation, KRQOL, and IKDC scores at the time of surgery. At 2 years, the operative group demonstrated clinically worse outcomes (KOOS = 8 points; IKDC = 11.5 points) in KOOS sports/recreation, KOOS KRQOL, and IKDC.
