Returning to sport after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery can be challenging, even for professional athletes. A safe return to competitive sports typically requires a recovery period of 8 months or more. Orthopedic surgeons and physiotherapists conduct regular assessments to evaluate knee stability, strength, and overall function, determining readiness for sports activities. Before athletes with an ACL injury resume high-level activity, it is imperative to undergo comprehensive performance testing. Premature return without adequate readiness significantly increases the risk of re-injury or other serious complications.
