Summary

This study looked at records from over 864,000 people in France who had surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. The goal was to see if doing physiotherapy before the surgery (called prehab) affected how much time people took off work and how much healthcare they used before and after the operation. The researchers analyzed data from a national health database to find patterns.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
rehabilitation (physiotherapy)
What this could lead to
If prehab is found to reduce time off work and healthcare use, it could support making pre-surgery physiotherapy a standard step before ACL surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a retrospective review of a database, not a controlled trial, so it can only show patterns, not prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to other countries or healthcare systems.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Preparing the patient for a surgical procedure had been well known in physiotherapy. Presurgical exercise aiming to improve functional capacity before a surgical procedure leads to more rapid postoperative recovery compared with patients who remain physically inactive through the preoperative period
