- Abstract
The article discusses that the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-injured patients have lower return to pivoting sport rates than operatively treated patients after baseline surgery. The study roped in nonoperatively treated ACL-injured patients. It states that the fact that nonoperatively treated patients could return to sport post rehabilitation should be coupled with follow-ups to examine sport participation over time, effects of subsequent injuries and knee osteoarthritis among them.
