Lysholm Knee Scale

The Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale is an 8-item knee outcome instrument developed by Swedish orthopedic surgeons Lysholm and Gillquist in 1982 to evaluate knee ligament surgery results. Published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine, the Lysholm Scale was among the first validated knee outcome measures and remains widely used in clinical practice and orthopedic research, particularly in studies of anterior cruciate ligament injuries and knee ligament reconstruction.
