Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is more likely in young people who participate in sports that require pivoting, decelerating, and leaping. The objectives of treatment are to restore knee function, address psychological barriers to active participation, return to flying as soon as possible, prevent further injury and osteoarthritis, besides optimize long-term quality of life.
Practical suggestions are provided for educating and discussing treatment choices with patients, as well as explaining patient-related characteristics linked with a poorer ACL rupture result.
