Paper #153: Brace or No Brace After ACL‐Graft? Four‐Year Results of a Prospective Clinical Trial

In a prospective randomized trial with 52 patients using patellar tendon autograft for ACL reconstruction, divided into two equal groups and treated with or without stabilizing knee brace for 6 weeks postoperatively was shown that the aftercare with a brace brings no advantage in IKDC and KT 1000 results in comparison to the treatment without brace in the 4 year follow-up.
