Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most commonly treated injuries in sports medicine surgery. Currently, many kinds of surgical treatment options are being developed for ACL injuries and disorders. There have been many developments in ACL surgery; surgeons are focusing on methods to make the procedure less invasive, more precise, and last longer, helping to lessen the likelihood of revision, secondary surgeries or persistent instability. In this Special Issue of Medicina, we aim to provide an overview of the recent advances in the field of ACL surgery, outcomes and rehabilitation. Therefore, researchers in the field of ACL surgery are encouraged to submit original articles or reviews to this Special Issue.
