BACKGROUND: At the completion of formal rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, functional capacity is only restored in a small proportion of affected individuals. Therefore, the end of formal rehabilitation is not the end of functional rehabilitation. OBJECTIVE: To compare adherence to and effectiveness of a late-stage rehabilitation programme with usual care after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. METHODS: This prospective, double-blind, multicentre, parallel group, randomised controlled trial, included people aged 18 to 35 years after formal rehabilitation completion (mean [SD] 241 [92] days post-reconstruction)...

CONTEXT: Among many unanticipated changes, access to rehabilitation was disrupted during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is unclear how the timing of late-stage rehabilitation following anterior cruciate ligament with surgical reconstruction (ACLR) during the initial months of the pandemic affected outcomes. The purpose of this study was to compare physical performance outcome measures in patients following ACLR prior to and following COVID-19-related restrictions. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study...

This clinical commentary will address five key concepts that can be used by clinicians as criteria for selecting lower extremity weight bearing exercises (WBE) and non-weight bearing exercises (NWBE) employed for cruciate ligament and patellofemoral rehabilitation. The following will be discussed for both cruciate ligament and patellofemoral rehabilitation: 1) Knee loading varies between WBE and NWBE; 2) Knee loading varies with technique variations within WBE and NWBE; 3) Knee loading varies between different WBE; 4) Knee loading varies as a function of knee angle; and 5) Knee loading increases with increased knee anterior translation beyond toes...

EDITORIAL
Timothy J Lin
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most studied ligament in the knee and one of the most studied topics in orthopaedics, with little consensus on best options for surgical technique or graft choice. While there is little question that physical rehabilitation is one of the most important variables in the episode of care before and after ACL reconstruction (ACLR), recent research surveying orthopaedic surgeons demonstrates no consensus of how to rehab ACLR patients and how to get them to return to sport safely and quickly...

CONTEXT: Up to 90% of pediatric athletes return to sport (RTS) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R); however, <50% RTS at the same level and second ACL injury rates are up to 32%. OBJECTIVES: (1) Determine which physical and patient-reported outcome measures guide clinical decision-making on RTS in pediatric athletes after ACL-R and (2) present a framework with insights from cognitive and neurophysiological domains to enhance rehabilitation outcomes...

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether harvesting a second graft from the ipsilateral extensor mechanism adversely affects clinical outcomes in revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. METHODS: A retrospective review of 34 patients undergoing revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with either quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft or bone-tendon-bone (BTB) autograft was conducted. Patients with two grafts (BTB+QT) from the extensor mechanism were matched based on age, laterality, and sex to patients who had primary reconstruction with hamstring (HS) autograft followed by revision with either BTB or QT autograft (HS+QT/BTB)...

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are prevalent sport-related injuries that result in protracted quadriceps atrophy and weakness despite surgical reconstruction and physical therapy. Vitamin D and its receptor are integral for skeletal muscle development and homeostasis. In addition, vitamin D status is positively associated with muscle size and strength. If the vitamin D receptor and related enzymes are upregulated with ACL injury and reconstruction, then overall vitamin D status may be an important effector of recovery...

BACKGROUND: Functional rating scales allow clinicians to document and quantify alterations and progression of recovery processes. There is neither awareness of numerous knee scales nor are they easy to find or compare to select the most suitable. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to compile validated knee functional rating tools and analyze the methodological quality of their validation studies. Also, we aimed to provide an operational document of the outcome measures addressing descriptions of parameters, implementations, instructions, interpretations and languages, to identify the most appropriate for future interventions...

PURPOSE: To compare acute ACL reconstruction (ACLR) within 8 days of injury with delayed reconstruction after normalized range of motion (ROM), 6-10 weeks after injury. It was hypothesized that acute ACL reconstruction with modern techniques is safe and can be beneficial in terms of patient-reported outcomes and range of motion. METHODS: Sample size calculation indicated 64 patients would be required to find a 5° difference in ROM at 3 months...

REVIEW

PURPOSE: Lack of return to sport following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction often occurs despite adequate restoration of knee function, and there is growing evidence that psychological difference among patients may play an important role in this discrepancy. The purpose of this review is to identify baseline psychological factors that are predictive of clinically relevant ACL reconstruction outcomes, including return to sport, rehab compliance, knee pain, and knee function...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of Endobutton post-fixation and femoral (TransFix) transfixation in ACL reconstruction on lower extremity muscle strength, joint position sense, and knee stability. METHODS: Subjects who had undergone ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon using Endobutton post-fixation (n=20, mean age: 26.5 years) or femoral transfixation (n=20, mean age: 29.9 years) were recruited to an ACL rehabilitation program. Twelve months after surgery, quadriceps and hamstring torque values were recorded using an isokinetic dynamometer...
