What is the Cross Bracing Protocol? Non-surgical management of ACL rupture
Traditionally, it was understood that if you rupture your ACL, surgery was necessary to return to playing sports. An ACL rupture often required surgical intervention followed by extensive rehabilitation to restore strength and stability. Whilst effective, this approach involves a prolonged recovery period and isn't always suitable for everyone. Innovative research indicates that for specific types of ACL ruptures, there’s an alternative approach which can lead to ACL healing without surgery, via the Cross Bracing Protocol. This new alternative to surgery is promising for many individuals who do not want to undergo surgery. In this blog we explore this conservative management program to help facilitate healing of the ACL.
