Abstract:
There are many potential problems associated with ACL surgery; however, careful attention to detail can prevent problems from occurring or provide corrective options in the event they do occur. Multiple backup options are not only desirable but also essential to a successful outcome. By following these guidelines, ACL surgery can have good long-term results and return the recreational or higher-level athlete to sports participation.
