Abstract :

Objective: The objective is to assess the comprehensive management of ACL injuries, focusing on diagnostic, surgical, and rehabilitation aspects, with a particular emphasis on adherence to BOAST and Rehabilitation guidelines. Methods: The study involves 82 predominantly male patients who underwent ACL reconstruction in the last 5 years. Data, including clinical assessments, MRI timings, meniscal repair considerations, graft selection discussions, and rehabilitation adherence, was collected retrospectively. BOAST guidelines and a Rehabilitation Protocol for ACL reconstruction guided the evaluation. Results: Prompt clinical assessments were observed, but variable MRI timings indicate concerns in standardized diagnostics. Meniscal repair considerations were present in 70.73% of cases, emphasizing the need for standardized protocols. Patient involvement in graft selection discussions favored the quadruple hamstring graft. Positive early-phase outcomes in Rehabilitation Protocol were noted, but non-compliance in later stages poses a significant challenge. Conclusion: While the study demonstrates successes in diagnostics, surgical interventions, and early rehabilitation, non-compliance in later rehabilitation stages demands attention. Addressing factors like patient education and socioeconomic barriers is crucial for comprehensive care. The study underscores the dynamic nature of ACL management, calling for ongoing refinements in diagnostic and treatment protocols. Despite limitations, findings contribute insights for improved ACL reconstruction efficacy and patient outcomes. What are the specific reasons for non-compliance in the later stages of the Rehabilitation Protocol, and how can interventions be designed to improve adherence and outcomes
