  • Title: Rehabilitation of the nonreconstructed anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knee.
    Author: Antich TJ, Brewster CE.
    Journal: Clin Sports Med; 1988 Oct; 7(4):813-26. PubMed ID: 3180263.
    Abstract:
    Management of the patient with an ACL-deficient knee continues to be controversial. In the patient with an acute ligament disruption, arthroscopic examination if employed should be followed by a physical therapy program that restores not only range of motion and strength, but also prepares the athlete for the return to his sport. Patients with chronic ACL-insufficiency must be evaluated meticulously with regard to pain and instability with functional activities followed by a vigorous attempt at conservative care including bracing.
