Pre-injury running biomechanics are an ideal comparator for quantifying recovery of running biomechanics following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), allowing for assessments within both the surgical and non-surgical limbs. However, availability of pre-injury running biomechanics is rare and has only been reported in case studies. To determine if running biomechanics return to pre-injury levels within the first year post-ACLR among collegiate athletes. We hypothesized that surgical knee biomechanics would be significantly reduced shortly after ACLR and not return to pre-injury levels by 12 months, and non-surgical limb mechanics would change significantly from pre-injury. Analysis of routinely collected athletic performance data; Level of Evidence, 3. Thirteen Division I collegiate athletes were identified between 2015 and 2020 (6 female; 20.7±1.3 years old) who had whole body kinematics and ground reaction forces recorded during treadmill running (3.7 ± 0.6 m/s) prior to sustaining an ACL injury. Running analyses were repeated at 4 (4M), 6 (6M), 8 (8M), and 12 (12M) months post-ACLR. Linear mixed effects models were used to assess differences in running biomechanics between post-ACLR time-points and pre-injury within each limb, reported as Tukey-adjusted p-values. Compared to pre-injury, the surgical limb displayed significant deficits at all post-operative assessments (p-values <0.01, reported as least square mean difference ± standard error): peak knee flexion angle (4M: 13.2°±1.4, 6M: 9.8°±1.4, 8M: 9.7°±1.4, 12M: 9.0°±1.5); peak knee extensor moment (4M: 1.32±0.13, 6M: 1.04±0.13, 8M: 1.04±0.13, 12M: 0.87±0.15 Nm/kg; 38 to 57% deficit); and rate of knee extensor moment (4M: 22.7±2.4, 6M: 17.9±2.3, 8M: 17.5±2.4, 12M: 16.1±2.6 Nm/kg/s; 33 to 46% deficit). No changes for these variables from pre-injury (p-values > 0.88) were identified in the non-surgical limb. Following ACLR, surgical limb knee running biomechanics were not restored to the pre-injury state by 12M, while non-surgical limb mechanics remained unchanged compared to pre-injury. Collegiate athletes post-ACLR demonstrate substantial deficits in running mechanics compared to pre-injury that persist beyond the typical return-to-sport timeframe. The non-surgical knee appears to be a valid reference for recovery of the surgical knee mechanics during running, due to the lack of change within the non-surgical limb.
