💥 More ACL healing 💥
I recently shared this paper by Filbay et al 2022 - which was an analysis of MRI healing of the patients from the world renowned KANON trial.
33% of patients in the rehab + delayed ACLR group and 50% of rehab alone group in the KANON trial showed evidence of healing on MRI 2 years following ACL injury.
Those that healed also had better knee function and quality of life than those who had early ACLR, delayed ACLR or we're non-healers.
Moral of the story - give people time (at least 3 months + high quality rehab) following ACL injury to see if they can be one of these lucky people who can heal.
