REHABILITATION AND HEALING PROCESS AFTER ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is one of the most frequently performed orthopedic procedures, especially in athletic and active populations.The primary goal is to restore knee joint stability and function following ligament rupture.While surgical technique is critical, long-term success is equally determined by the biological healing of the graft and an individualized, evidence-based rehabilitation protocol.Autologous grafts: hamstring tendons (HS), bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB), and quadriceps tendon (QT) are the most commonly used options.
