Background Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a common injury, mainly
affecting young, physically active individuals. The injury is characterised by joint instability,
leading to decreased activity, which can lead to poor knee‐related quality of life. It is also
associated with increased risk of secondary osteoarthritis of the knee. It is unclear whether
stabilising the knee surgically via ACL reconstruction produces a better overall outcome
than non‐surgical (conservative) treatment. Objectives
