Abstract

Diagnosis, prevention, and management of injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) remain integral in the practice of orthopedic sports medicine. In the past few decades, tremendous advancements have been made regarding the understanding of the anatomy, biomechanics, and function of the native ACL. These advancements have enabled a more robust understanding of the significance of the injured ACL and its associated intra-articular injuries, including damage to articular cartilage, meniscal derangement, and injury to the posterolateral corner. While there is a role for nonoperative management of these injuries in certain patients, ACL reconstruction is generally recommended for younger patients and athletes who want to return to cutting/pivoting sports. It is important for the operating surgeon to have a comprehensive understanding of the various graft choices, fixation methods, and reconstruction adjuncts to individualize and optimize the patient’s management and outcomes. Further research is imperative regarding the optimal management of concomitant injuries and ways to improve long-term outcomes after ACL injury.
