Nearly 90% participation in sports activity 12  years after non-surgical management for anterior cruciate ligament injury relates to physical outcome measures

ConclusionsEighty-nine percent of ACL-ruptured individuals treated conservatively lead an active sporting life. One-third returned to pivoting sports.  Overall RTS was related to subjective and objective stability and quadriceps and to a lesser extent hamstring strength. This finding reinforced the importance of dynamic stability training as an initial treatment option in most cases.Level of evidenceIII.
