| Abstract |
To identify and evaluate the evidence for the pivot shift test as an outcome measure following ACL reconstruction. Achieving rotatory control of the knee post anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been shown to increase patient satisfaction, decrease functional instability and potentially delay the development of osteoarthritis. The pivot shift is able to assess this rotatory component of knee laxity and appears to have the potential to become a benchmark in gauging the success of ACL surgery. Multiple confounding factors and discrepancies in performing the maneuver itself however put its usefulness in question. Thus, the literature was reviewed to assess whether the pivot shift was able to correlate with final functional outcomes. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 February 2012.
All research outputs
#14,598,119
of 22,663,150 outputs
Outputs from Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy
#1,667
of 2,631 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#157,244
of 243,406 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy
#23
of 49 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,663,150 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,631 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 243,406 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 49 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its contemporaries.
