First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether letting patients watch their own ACL reconstruction surgery live on a screen helps them feel less afraid of moving after the operation. 65 adults having ACL surgery under spinal anesthesia either watched the procedure or received standard care. The goal was to see if this simple video technique reduces kinesiophobia (fear of movement) and improves recovery at 24 weeks.
