A database of the current practice of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery in Great Britain was collated from a postal survey. This survey revealed that clear trends are emerging in the United Kingdom (UK) with regard to ACL reconstruction surgery (such as the type of graft used and timing of surgery) and rehabilitation. Certain issues, however, remain controversial, including bracing and knee range of movement. Clinical outcome measures are consistently used to judge operative success, but few specialists use defined objective measurements such as the IKDC scoring system.
通过一项邮政调查整理出了英国前交叉韧带（ACL）重建手术当前实践的数据库。这项调查显示，在英国，ACL重建手术（如使用的移植物类型和手术时机）及康复方面正呈现出明显的趋势。然而，某些问题仍然存在争议，包括支具使用和膝关节活动范围。临床结果指标一直被用于评判手术的成功与否，但很少有专家使用诸如国际膝关节文献委员会（IKDC）评分系统等明确的客观测量方法。
