Tag: Anterior Cruciate Ligament

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are either treated surgically (with ACL reconstruction; ACLR) or nonsurgically (with rehabilitation alone). High-quality studies are scarce but show similar outcomes after both treatment strategies. However, the treatment choice is only one part of the treatment process: intense rehabilitation, surgical indications, and patient education are also essential. Additionally, ACL patients are a heterogeneous group and do not follow a one-size-fits-all approach.
