Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture
Conditions
Brief summary
The return to work in the military population after surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has been poorly investigated within the French armed forces. Only American studies are available and show that this surgery has a significant impact on the operational capacity of soldiers. ACL rupture is extremely frequent in active populations. This pathology has already been extensively explored in at-risk populations, particularly in sports. Most studies show that the resumption of sport is greatly affected by this pathology. Furthermore, an over-risk (10 times greater incidence of ACL rupture) in the military has been demonstrated.
