Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does mRI-based ACL graft maturity predict clinical and functional outcomes during the first year after ACL reconstruction?
Answer: The MRI-based graft maturity does not have the ability to predict clinical and functional outcomes in patients at the first-year follow-up. Graft maturity should not be used as an objective test to determine the appropriate time to return to sports during the first year after ACL reconstruction. The results from this study will allow clinicians to determine graft-specific health to determine whether the graft is healed enough to return to sports during the first postoperative year.
Output (English): no
