ACL Surgery is Not all It's Cracked Up to be

No kidding, according to this study, done in Lund, Sweden (which I imagine is a good place to do an ACL study since there is no significant economic gain by the doc to do one).

“Reconstruction does not lead to greater improvement than rehabilitative training after knee ligament injury”

Music to a PT’s ears.

PT: The Best First Choice in treatment of ACL injuries.

Perhaps we can get the Swedes to reproduce this study on spines?
