📢 There is now more then ever before Growing Evidence for Non-Surgical Approaches to ACL Injuries Info from “Ann-Sophie De Backer” Read below to explore the growing evidence supporting non-surgical approaches to ACL injuries. While surgery has been the traditional go-to, research highlights the success of conservative management, especially in Scandinavian healthcare models that prioritize “physio first.” Key Takeaways: • Physio First Approach: Scandinavian healthcare models require patients to consult non-surgical orthopedic specialists first, leading to fewer surgeries and successful conservative treatments. Studies since the 1980s have shown that many patients do well without surgery if given 6-12 months. • Identifying Copers: Objective markers such as fewer episodes of knee instability, high scores on the 6m timed hop test, KOS ADL subscale, and global knee function rating help identify patients who can manage without surgery. • KANON Trial Findings: This high-quality study found that early surgery doesn’t outperform supervised exercise therapy. Many patients undergoing early surgery had poorer outcomes, highlighting the importance of patient beliefs and education in rehabilitation. • Healing Potential: New evidence suggests that ACLs can heal over time, challenging the notion that they cannot due to lack of blood supply. Although more high-quality studies are needed, some professional athletes have experienced natural healing. 🔗 [Read more to expand your knowledge and explore Kieran Richardson’s Masterclass on Non-surgical Management of ACL Tears.] https://lnkd.in/eQkgUvjE
