An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury—specifically a tear (rupture)—is a knee injury that can occur not only during sports but also during everyday activities. Ligament repair performed via arthroscopic surgery following such an injury is one of the most common procedures in orthopedic sports surgery. Even after successful procedures, the ligament may tear again if it does not regain sufficient strength, necessitating revision (re-repair) surgery.
You are viewing the clinical outcomes of our patient, who presented to us in the second year following ACL surgery performed at another center due to a re-rupture, and whom we were able to mobilize without support and under full weight-bearing by the third week after the revision (re-repair) surgery we performed. To achieve a successful surgical outcome, in addition to the success of the surgical procedure itself, it is essential that the patient adhere to the postoperative treatment protocol and complete the rehabilitation program in full.
