THE ACL CAN HEAL: updated research in ACL management

THE ACL CAN HEAL: updated research in ACL management

Contemporary management of ACL tears is a space that continues to grow and develop exponentially with new research published regularly. Over the last few years there has been a significant push towards conservative management over surgery for some patients with results in quality of life and return to sport outcomes being on par if not better in some studies.

New research has also highlighted the capacity for the ACL itself to heal and restore function if managed appropriately and screened early. This information flips the current narrative of ‘surgery being the only option’ on its head and highlights the need for an update on patient education, rehab protocols and our own understanding of the healing capacity of the body.
