Management of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury? What's In and What's Out? INDIAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDICS Raines, B., Naclerio, E., Sherman, S. L. 2017; 51 (5): 563–75

Abstract

Sports medicine physicians have a keen clinical and research interest in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The biomechanical, biologic, and clinical data researchers generate, help drive injury management and prevention practices globally. The current concepts in ACL injury and surgery are being shaped by technological advances, expansion in basic science research, resurging interest in ACL preservation, and expanding efforts regarding injury prevention. As new methods are being developed in this field, the primary goal of safely improving patient outcomes will be a unifying principle. With this review, we provide an overview of topics currently in controversy or debate, and we identify paradigm shifts in the understanding, management, and prevention of ACL tears.
