At 2 years, return to preinjury pivoting sport was investigated and, if they had returned, whether they felt their performance was at (or better) or below preinjury status.

While a significantly greater (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.024) percentage of males (66.9%) versus females (52.4%) had returned to pivoting sports by 2 years, no differences (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.708) were seen based on concomitant meniscal repair. Overall, 92 patients (39.7%) had not RTS, with primary reasons being loss of interest (21.7%), too busy due to their work and\/or family environment (22.8%), or fear of reinjury or lacking confidence (17.4%).
