Kinesitherapy after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Presentation of Kinesitherapy after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

The anterior cruciate ligament is the main stabilizing structure in the knee joint. Its damage leads to a violation of its function, the motor activity of the athlete and the professional activity of the victim. Conservative treatment of this structure leads to a significant loss of function, permanent changes in the biomechanics of the knee joint. Accompanied by instability, development of osteoarthritis and changes in the quality of life.

Over the past 30 years, a number of theoretical and clinical studies have proven that the optimal method for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in the knee joint is the use of the middle third of the patellar tendon with bone blocks (bone-tendon-bone). In Europe and the USA, this method is considered to be the "gold standard". According to which the results of one or another type of treatment are evaluated; of one or another type of surgical technique.

It is an indisputable fact that kinesitherapy after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is extremely important for achieving good postoperative results - overcoming postoperative pain. Swelling, inflammation, graft union, recovery of range of motion, stability of the knee joint; hypotrophy, muscle strength. Moving the joints, and returning to normal motor mode and sport.

The published programs for kinesitherapy after ACL reconstruction show the evolution and aggressiveness of the kinesitherapy methods used in accordance with the surgical methods of treatment. They outline the main tasks to be solved. Even more relevant is the question of what means are used to achieve the set tasks and when they should be implemented.

The hypothesis in writing this monograph is that if we present the theoretical and practical experience of authors, we will facilitate the formulation of kinesitherapy programs after reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee joint. In accordance with the type of surgical treatment, its adequate physical activity and protection from complications.
