Return to sport after ACL reconstruction in amateur athletes
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how well amateur athletes recover and return to sport after ACL reconstruction. If you had ACL surgery on one knee at least 6 months ago, you may be able to participate in simple functional tests to track your progress.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
