Overview
Evaluation and treatment of ACL injuries, including reconstruction when indicated for symptomatic instability and return to sport.
Assessment
Evaluation is individualized and may include a focused history, physical examination and appropriate imaging. Treatment decisions are based on symptoms, functional limitations, anatomy, activity level and patient goals.
Treatment
Non-operative treatment is considered when appropriate. Surgery is recommended only when the expected benefit is reasonable for the individual patient and the condition is suitable for operative management.
Recovery
Recovery depends on the specific procedure, tissue healing requirements and rehabilitation goals. A structured rehabilitation plan is tailored to the operation and the patient.
