Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common debilitating injury that can cause instability of the knee. We aimed to investigate best management strategy between reconstructive surgery and non-surgical treatment for patients with non-acute ACL persistent symptoms instability.We did pragmatic, multicentre, superiority, randomised controlled trial in 29 secondary care National Health Service orthopaedic units UK. Patients symptomatic knee problems (instability) consistent an were...
Aims The aim of this study was to estimate the incremental use resources, costs, and quality life outcomes associated with surgical reconstruction compared rehabilitation for long-standing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in NHS, its cost-effectiveness. Methods A total 316 patients were recruited randomly assigned either or (physiotherapy but subsequent permitted if instability persisted after treatment). Healthcare resource health-related data (EuroQol five-dimension five-level...

The trial was designed confirm best management strategy between reconstructive surgery (Surgery) or non-surgical treatment (Rehabilitation) for patients with non-acute ACL injury.Methods: A pragmatic, multi-centre, superiority, randomised controlled two-arm parallel groups and 1:1 allocation in 29 UK secondary care NHS orthopaedic units.
