- Abstract
The author discusses the new trends in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) research in 2011. It says that a considerable amount of research is being conducted in the field of ACL remnant preservation. The author adds that the criteria for returning athletes to sport after ACL reconstruction surgery have not changed, which include quadriceps strength, restored ligamentous laxity and the absence of pain/swelling. The improvements in musculoskeletal imaging are also discussed.
