Description:
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury can have devastating long-term impacts for young, active individuals. In most countries, management of ACL injury does not reflect evidence-based recommendations.
Misconceptions about surgical and non-surgical management options persist and misinformation prevents patients from making informed treatment decisions.
Evidence suggests a ruptured ACL can heal without surgery and this may be associated with better patient-reported outcomes.
Objectives:
- Provide an overview of current evidence and debunk common misconceptions about ACL injury management options.
- Present the latest evidence on healing of ACL rupture and the association between ACL healing and patient outcomes
- Provide a comparison of ACL injury outcomes following management with ACL reconstruction compared to non-surgical rehabilitation
- Provide clinicians with knowledge to inform patients about ACL injury management options to improve management decisions.
Price:
- Free for Orthopaedic Division Members (you must authenticate your CPA membership in order to see the CPA pricing tier)
- $10 for CPA members (you must authenticate your CPA membership in order to see the CPA pricing tier)
