Table 3 Estimates, confidence intervals, and statistical outcomes for the mixed models for the vertical jump and hop measurements: drop jump (above) and vertical hop (below); both times separated by the reconstructed and unimpaired leg

From: Functional outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: unravelling the role of time between injury and surgery, time since reconstruction, age, gender, pain, graft type, and concomitant injuries
