Last I heard, Dr. Filbay is working on a decision aid for patients.
Here’s my guess as to what it’ll suggest:
First, do the bracing protocol. Then do intensive physical therapy. If, after both of the above, you have functional instability that is adversely impacting your quality of life, consider surgery. Otherwise, don’t.

Seems like a strong maybe. Check out “Implications of findings” on page 7 of the paper.
- diiaann 3y agoThe only thing that's tough about this approach is you work hard at physical therapy but still you end up being the percentage that still needs surgery. Then once you get surgery you have to start all over again. I delayed ACLR personally because of a multi ligament tear and the toughest part was the burnout of starting back up again after surgery.
