Özet
>> Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries remain common among athletes; these injuries require reconstruction to restore stability and enable successful return to sport.>> The role of postoperative dynamic knee bracing following ACL reconstruction in protecting graft integrity and promoting return to sport remains largely unknown.>> Limited biomechanical studies on functional bracing have reported decreased strain across the ACL with increasing anterior shear loading.>> Investigations evaluating functional brace use in clinical studies have not yet demonstrated consistent improvement in clinical outcomes, reduced graft retear rates, or improved return-to-sport rates in sports other than skiing.>> Additional investigation examining athletes of various ages participating in different sporting activities is necessary to better understand the role of functional bracing following ACL reconstruction.
