1. How and Why the ACL Gets Injured and Historical Development
The history of ACL injury is quite interesting, with numerous authors showing us that the ACL gets injured near extension and typically in a noncontact format. Younger patients who are very flexible are at greatest risk, and surgery is not a panacea.
2. ACL Surgery: Choices and Implications to Rehabilitation
Surgical management evolved with the introduction of antibiotics and the recognition of nonoperative management being unsuccessful for many (especially athletes wishing to return to cutting sports). Surgery has evolved from repairs to reconstructions using a strong graft that is properly positioned to better replicate native ACL function.
3. Rehabilitation and Outcomes
Evidence-based medicine has provided us with a pathway forward for guiding our rehabilitation following ACL reconstruction. The protocols have become graft-specific and ideally include a prevention program emphasis regarding return to play. Interestingly, most clinicians are accepting a nine-month schedule for return to play.
