ACL Injury Treatment Decision Aid: A Simple Guide
If you think you have injured your ACL, the ACL Injury Treatment Decision Aid will show you what to do step by step.
Deciding what to do after an injury is often difficult, confusing and stressful. It can be hard to know where to start.
The treatment decision aid asks easy questions to help you decide what’s best for your ACL injury.
There are 3 main treatment options.
- The Cross Bracing Method – a new ACL bracing method that helps the ligament heal naturally.
- Rehabilitation Only – physiotherapy and exercises, with the option to have surgery later if needed.
- Surgery – traditional ACL reconstruction after the injury.
As you work through the decision aid you can visit the article for each treatment method to understand the pros and cons of each and review any patient-related factors relevant to you that may sway you away or toward selecting that option.
