Monitoring
Close follow-up with the orthopedist and strict adherence to the physical therapy regimen is required postoperatively. For high-level athletes, it is important to communicate with and involve their athletic trainers and coaching staff, particularly as the return rate to competitive sport is relatively low following ACL surgery, despite the high success rate of knee impairment-based functional outcomes.[91] This helps to ensure that the appropriate regimen is adhered to, and allows for optimum feedback and appropriate phasing of return to play.
