Disagreement Persists on Optimal Rehabilitation Goals and Timelines for Weight‐Bearing Restriction, Knee Brace Use, and Return to Sports After Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction
Rehabilitation after PLC reconstruction lacks standardization, with significant variation in key milestones such as weight-bearing, knee bracing, and return-to-sport timelines. This study provides an analysis of current rehabilitation protocol inconsistencies and offers a structured recommendation that may assist clinicians and physiotherapists in patient counseling and protocol development.
