This study tests whether a sports rehabilitation program can help heal two common knee injuries at the same time: a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and worn cartilage behind the kneecap (patellar chondromalacia). If you have these conditions, the program aims to reduce pain and improve function.
