摘要
Most surgeons agree that postoperative rehabilitation is an important part of the final outcome after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. With the aim of a full return of knee function in terms of stability, strength, range of motion and neuromuscular control different methods of rehabilitation are performed in different phases of graft healing. A review of the literature of prospective and randomized studies revealed the following information for the rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction with a bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autograft: a brace is not required. Full weight bearing reduces an terior knee pain and has no negative effect. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation increases muscle strength and improves kinematics. Cold therapy has no positive effect. Early joint motion can avoid the negative effect of immobilization. The literature on rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction with hamstrings is not sufficient for a consensus opinion.
