Introduction
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) sits in the middle of the knee and provides stability when we twist and pivot during daily activities and sports. While the ACL is a robust ligament, it can still rupture if too much force is applied to it. Without an ACL, you may still walk and jog, but the knee will feel unstable during pivoting movements with stairs or sports such as basketball or football. The ACL is reconstructed using your hamstrings to restore the stability of your knee.
Post ACL Reconstruction Rehabilitation.
Physiotherapy and rehabilitation are crucial after surgery so that you may have a good functional outcome and return to sports sooner rather than later. Most post ACL reconstruction rehab protocols are broken up into several phases (Immediate, Intermediate, Late) and each phase has its own aims and targets. Not all patients will have the same rehabilitation as there might have been differences in the surgery they had. In addition to the ACL recon, they might also have had repairs of meniscus tears or treatment of cartilage injuries as well.
