In brief

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are among the most common and functionally disabling knee injuries, particularly in physically active individuals. Despite advancements in surgical techniques, optimal post-operative rehabilitation remains critical for successful functional recovery, minimizing re-injury risk, and restoring pre-injury performance levels
