About this trial
Isolated ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) can be proximal, distal or occur in the middle of the ACL.
Treatment of patients with proximal lesions should be graded. Functional treatment can be reserved for low-demanding patients in whom the practice level is limited and the risk of progression to a knee functionally unstable less marked. In athletes, the risk of a new sprain must be explained and the patient will choose a functional treatment or a surgical treatment.
Few studies exist in the literature on the superiority of surgical treatment compared to functional treatment. In this context, this study is based on the hypothesis that patients undergoing ACL surgical repair have better functional scores and more intense sport activity than patients with functional treatment.
