📌 According to Jenkins et al. (2022):
“Rehabilitation protocols after ACL reconstruction should be individualized and tailored to the patient based on various factors, including the graft type and repaired structures.” The article also emphasizes a shift toward accelerated, patient-dependent protocols and criterion-based return-to-sport decisions (1).
