ABSTRACT
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture leads to weakened quadriceps muscle strength and a decline in proprioception, impairing the neuromuscular control of the lower extremities. ACL reconstruction, aimed at addressing such structural and functional instability, has become a primary treatment method for young and active patients. Consequently, there have been significant advancements in surgical techniques, resulting in improved clinical outcomes. However, achieving successful outcomes after ACL reconstruction is not solely dependent on the surgery itself; pre- and postoperative rehabilitation and management are equally crucial. A well-designed functional recovery program based on medical evidence before and after ACL reconstruction plays a vital role in restoring function to preinjury levels. The process of the functional recovery program, from presurgery to sports return, should adhere to certain principles. These principles involve prompt and accurate clinical diagnosis and patient classification after injury, systematic programs addressing joint swelling and inflammation control, reduction of arthrogenic muscle inhibition, restoration of range of motion, muscle strength recovery, and proprioception restoration. Postoperatively, it is essential to go beyond traditional methods (such as range of motion restoration and muscle strengthening) by implementing a functional recovery program that includes enhancement of proprioception and neuromuscular control system from the early stages, considering the biological healing response of the graft. This comprehensive approach is vital for achieving optimal outcomes in the recovery of function after ACL reconstruction.
