Abstract
There is a feeling among knee surgeons that operating on an acute anterior cruciate ligament injury will increase the incidence of arthrofibrosis. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis of 7 recent articles compared early versus delayed anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The conclusions were that the clinical and stability results were comparable in both groups.
