Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries
Other Treatment
Other treatment for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries includes physical rehabilitation (rehab) to:

You may choose to treat an ACL injury with rehab alone. If you have surgery, rehab will also be part of your treatment. For more information, see Physical Rehabilitation for ACL Injuries.
