Abstract
Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a common orthopedic operation. The success of the operation depends on a large number of different factors. In addition to a lively discussion on single and double bundle reconstructions or anatomical and non-anatomical placement of the drill canal there is considerable disagreement on the follow-up treatment after ACL reconstruction. This article deals with the course of healing after an operation as well as the various rehabilitation phases and their specific characteristics. The question of orthotic devices, exercise with continuous passive motion tracks and criteria for the return to sport activities will be dealt with on the basis of the current literature.
