Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis was to do a systematic literature review comparing conservative and surgical approaches after an anterior cruciate ligament injury. The study question was: “Which is more effective treatment approach after an ACL-injury?”
The information was gathered from articles done within the last ten years. The thesis is written as a systematic literature review and articles and researches were found with multiple databases, including Cochrane, EbscoHost, Science Direct and Pub Med.
This review shows that there is no clear evidence that either approach would be better than the other. Important fact is to individually decide which is better for the patient.
