Abstract:
At all levels of American football, knee injuries are common, with injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) making up a significant proportion. Historically, ACL injuries were career-altering for professional players, but innovative techniques in surgery and rehabilitation have returned many to the field. While there is a consensus on surgical techniques for ACL reconstruction, significant discrepancies remain on injury prevention and rehabilitation programs. This review article describes the burden of ACL injury on players in the National Football League, best practices in injury prevention and rehabilitation, and evidence-based recommendations for preparing injured athletes to return to play.
