Over the years, I have been part of the decision-making process for many patients after their ACL injury. It is very rewarding to be part of a patient's return to sport or activities of daily living pain free. My goal as a physiotherapist is to always to get the best possible outcome for all patients.

Surgery is not for everybody, and rehab is not for everybody either. Not everybody wants or should expect to return to sport post-ACL reconstruction surgery. There are many factors which will affect the decision to go for surgery or choose standard rehab.

I have recently managed a high performing football player, Charlie, who will return to play in the next few weeks. Charlie's injury happened while playing a football match in Singapore. While pivoting to shoot, and his knee gave way into a bend and inward twist, a classic mechanism of ACL injuries. For the reconstruction, Charlie decided to use a hamstring autograft approach. Charlie's most recent physiotherapy session can be seen in the clip below.

Here is a list of the top ten questions that I have been asked over my years of work about ACL reconstruction surgery and the subsequent physiotherapy process.
