Abstract:

Anterior cruciate ligament injury is common in young and active patients. When the ACL is completely ruptured, arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is needed. Although the ACLR procedure is mature and can repair structural defects, patients face knee muscle strength, function and endurance injury after surgery, resulting in some patients unable to return to the exercise level before the injury. In fact, in addition to the operation itself, rehabilitation also has an important impact on the prognosis of patients. Studies have shown that preoperative rehabilitation can reduce the risk of operation, improve the effect of operation, and help patients return to unrestricted physical activity as soon as possible. However, at present, researchers mainly focus on postoperative rehabilitation. Compared with routine postoperative rehabilitation, there are fewer studies on patients undergoing preoperative rehabilitation. This paper summarized the relevant clinical research results of rehabilitation treatment before anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, in order to provide new ideas and guidance for the rehabilitation diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
