As pediatric orthopedic surgeon Jennifer Weiss, M.D., explains, successful ACL recovery depends on more than the procedure itself. Physical therapy and active patient participation are critical components of the rehabilitation process.

Patients who engage fully with their rehabilitation program, build strength, and partner with their therapists are better positioned for a safe return to activity.
