Surgical decision-making in adults is usually based on patient preference, level of functional disability, and the presence of comorbidities.

Functional disability was determined using patient-reported outcome measure scores, including the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Physical Function Short Form (KOOS-PS) and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information Systems Physical Function (PROMIS-PF) within 90 days of diagnosis and before surgery. Clinical and sociodemographic factors were collected, and comorbidities were recorded using the Charlson Comorbidity Index. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify relationships between clinical and sociodemographic factors with the likelihood of undergoing surgery for their ACL injury.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 3656 patients were identified with ACL tear; 1734 (47.4%) were female (mean age, 34.9 years; SD, 13.8 years) and 1922 (52.6%) were male (mean age, 32.8 years; SD, 13.1 years).
