Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are frequent. Reconstruction through surgery is more common than ever. The patient's care after anterior cruciate ligament repair surgery is covered in this review article. Early recovery of passive motion, early weight bearing, bracing, kinetic chain exercises, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and rapid rehabilitation are emphasized, among other aspects of therapy. While evidence supports the therapy of surgically repaired cruciate ligaments, further research is required to more precisely define the timeframes for progression. There is proof that many of these adolescents are not fully resuming unrestricted high-level activities. To assist the busy clinician in comprehending and connecting scientific and clinical research to rehabilitating a patient after reconstruction, this review paper provides some of the most recent findings about anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation. In summary, although a great deal of research has been done and is continuously being added to the literature every day, more work must be done to understand the pathology associated with ACL tears to potentially improve the prognosis of people who have had ACL tears.
