Excerpt

So, there is “too much research” on the anterior cruciate ligament, correct? Because, we should not be doing so many ACL reconstructions on athletes of all ages, levels, and whether their knees are grossly unstable or not, correct? Well, there was a time when we were discussing “copers” and “non-copers” [9]. To be “coping” with ACL injury means that the patient does not experience persistent instability and can manage the injury with non-operative treatment. Many factors have been proposed to play a role in a patient’s ability to cope or not. Those are proprioceptive, hormonal, muscular, associated injuries, bony morphology, and of course activity level. Besides, it is not just the ACL that gets injured, but also the soft tissue structures in the periphery. Can we quantify these injuries? …
