Conservative Management of Acute Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture in Recreational Athletes: A Pilot Case Series
This study shows that intra-articular biologics (PRP or ACS) combined with structured rehabilitation were associated with MRI continuity, clinical stability, and safe return to sport at six months in recreational athletes with acute ACL rupture. This conservative treatment could be considered an alternative, and further investigation is warranted.
