Non-operative Management Of ACL Tears

Did you know the ACL can heal after a rupture? The Cross Bracing Protocol (CBP) is a conservative ALC protocol where the knee is immobilised in a brace post-injury. It is thought to facilitate healing of the ACL by reducing the gap between the two ends of the ligament and providing it with an opportunity to rebuild its continuity.

A recent study shows after management with CBP, 90% of patients had signs of healing on a 3-month MRI.
