Almost all athletes who have suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury expect a full return to sports at the same pre-injury level after ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Detailed patient information on the reasonable outcomes of the surgery may be essential to improve patient satisfaction.
-
Pre-operative rehabilitation before ACLR should be considered as an addition to the standard of care to maximise functional outcomes after ACLR.
-
We propose an optimised criterion-based rehabilitation programme within a biopsychosocial framework.
-
No benchmark exists for evaluating return-to-sport (RTS) readiness after ACLR. Therefore, the authors propose a multi-factorial RTS test battery. A combination of both physical and psychological elements should be included in the RTS test battery.
-
There is need for shared decision-making regarding RTS.

This review explores the intricate relationship between knee osteotomy and frontal plane joint line orientation, emphasizing the dynamic nature of the joint line’s influence on knee forces and kinematics.
-
Consideration of coronal alignments, knee phenotypes, and associated angles (medial proximal tibial angle (MTPA), lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA), joint line convergence angle (JLCA)) becomes crucial in surgical planning to avoid joint line deformities.
-
The double-level osteotomy is to be considered a valid option, especially for severe deformities; however, the target patient cannot be selected solely based on high predicted postoperative joint line obliquity (JLO) and MPTA.
