The literature lacks results regarding return to sport following ligament reconstruction. These mixed results encourage us to offer two different types of rehabilitation. In our article we develop the aims and principles of rehabilitation following ACL repair. We focus on muscle strengthening and proprioceptive re-programming. Time post-op should not be the only factor to consider. Other factors such as age, gender, type of sport and level of competition, the type of surgery, the patient's motivation as well as the physiotherapy assessment should all be taken into consideration when deciding if the patient is ready to return to sport.
