This protocol is intended to guide clinicians through the post-operative course for ACL Reconstruction. This protocol is time based (dependent on tissue healing) as well as criterion based.
Early accelerated rehabilitation characterised by joint mobilisation and weight-bearing within 3 days after surgery should be the mainstream approach in isolated ACL surgeries. When concomitant injuries (ie, meniscal, cartilage) are present, the early rehabilitation phase should be adapted according to the surgeon’s instructions.
This comprehensive review explores the spectrum of complications that can arise following ACL tear surgery, ranging from common issues such as infection, graft failure, and knee stiffness to less frequent but clinically significant complications like osteoarthritis and neurological injuries.
14 lip 2017 · Short-term complications following ACL reconstruction include infection and deficits to knee motion and strength, whereas long-term complications include secondary ACL injury to either the involved or contralateral knee and lack of ability to return to high-level sports following this procedure.
British Association for Surgery of the Knee (BASK) and British Orthopaedic Sports Trauma and Arthroscopy Association (BOSTAA) have collaborated to commission a committee to produce best practice guidelines on the management of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries.
22 sie 2022 · When surgical treatment is indicated for an acute isolated ACL tear, early reconstruction is preferred because the risk of additional cartilage and meniscal injury starts to increase within 3 months.
Typical post-operative ACL reconstruction rehabilitation protocols stages include (1) an early post-operative phase, which focuses on addressing knee range of motion (ROM) deficits, initiating knee strength and control, minimizing pain and effusion, and normalizing gait; (2) a strengthening and neuromuscular control phase, which includes the ...
