Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Age 18-45 years old; 2. Pre-injury Tegner activity score of 5-9; 3. Complete ACL rupture confirmed by MRI. Anterior cruciate ligament injury alone or with one or more of the following injuries on MRI and/or arthroscopy: (1) Meniscus tear, untreated or partially excised; (2) small and stable meniscal tears treated by fixation that do not interfere with the rehabilitation program; (3) cartilage changes confirmed by MRI, arthroscopically determined surface intact; 4. X-ray examination of the joint in normal condition, or any of the following findings: (1) small avulsion fragments located laterally, often described as Segond fractures; (2) JSN Grade 1 or Osteophyte Grade 1 as determined by OARSI atlas; 5. Have undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery for 6 months or more; 6. The interval between anterior cruciate ligament injury and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is not more than 1 year; 7. Agree to participate in the study and sign an informed consent form prior to inclusion.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. History of severe knee injury in the early stage of the injured side; 2. History of previous knee surgery (except for diagnostic arthroscopy); 3. Severe injury to the contralateral knee joint on the affected side at the time of assessment; 4. Injury of the lateral/posterolateral ligament complex, with a significant increase in laxity; 5. Poor alignment of knee varus; 6. Osteoarthritis K-L stage 3-4; 7. Pregnancy; 8. Have a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or coagulation dysfunction; 9. Systemic disease affecting physical function, any other condition or treatment that prevents the completion of the trial, including history of neurological and/or vestibular system disease or movement disorder, etc.; 10. Systemic drug therapy or substance abuse such as steroids; 11. MRI and/or arthroscopy showing one of the following knee-related injuries: (1) an unstable longitudinal meniscus tear (barrel handle tear) that requires repair, and subsequent postoperative treatment (i.e., bracing and immobilization (restricted ROM)) interferes with the implementation of the rehabilitation protocol; (2) double compartment wide meniscectomy (> 50% meniscus base); (3) Meniscus root tear repair treatment; (4) cartilage damage, manifested by loss of full thickness of cartilage tissue; (5) MRI showed complete rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament or lateral collateral ligament;
