Cross-Bracing for ACL Rupture

The degree of ACL heal as it deserves an MRI baseline does seem to matter or have something to do with how people end up healing. The other variable that may come into play is actually the distance between the torn remnant. So following the orthopedic principles of reduction of fixation, Merv has hypothesized that maybe if we brace them at 90 degrees initially, it might increase the likelihood of healing. They started trying this protocol and then found it was really effective in their clinical experience. And now about 300 people have been managed with this protocol.
