Influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the physiotherapeutic and medical follow-up care after reconstructions of the anterior cruciate ligament

CONCLUSION: Although the physiotherapeutic and medical follow-up care was not directly affected by a "lockdown", the pandemic led to significant restrictions, which are also reflected in a clear trend towards worse clinical outcomes.
