Non-operative treatment of anterior cruciate ligament injuries: two-thirds avoid surgery at 2-year follow-up in a nationwide cohort

In this active population of ACL injured patients treated non-operatively, two-thirds remained non-operatively treated at 2 years. Younger patients, those engaged in pivoting sports preinjury and those with baseline meniscal injuries had higher risks of undergoing delayed ACLR. KOOS scores were similar between non-operative and delayed ACLR patients.
