ACL Rehab: Protocols & Best Practices
Time is money, but when it comes to ACL rehabilitation, the calendar alone does not determine readiness for return to play. On this episode of BackTable Bone & Sport, host Dr. Larry Balle is joined by returning guest Dr. Andy Glidewell to discuss modern protocols for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rehabilitation. They cover the ACL’s role in knee stability, common injury mechanisms, and why moving beyond timeline-based milestones is crucial for optimal recovery. Glidewell emphasizes that while surgery reconstructs the ligament, rehabilitation is what restores true knee function.
