The Lysholm score [1] comprises eight items. Its total of 100 points are divided as follows: limp five points, walking support five points, squatting five points, stair climbing ten points, swelling ten points, locking and catching of the knee 15 points, stability 25 points, pain 25 points.
The result is considered as very good and good for a total score between 84 and 100 points, average between 65 and 83 points, and poor below 65 points.
It was created initially to monitor ligamentoplasty of the ACL, then was used in monitoring other knee conditions (chondropathy [27], meniscus syndrome [12]).
The Tegner activity-level scale [1] is a scale of physical sports and professional activities: from 0 (sick leave or disability pension because of knee problems) to 10 (competitive sports – soccer, football, rugby (national elite)).
The scale was initially developed to measure activity following knee injuries, and was validated for monitoring ACL ruptures in ligamentoplasty [2].
