Ottawa Anterior Cruciate Ligament Cohort Study

The Ottawa Anterior Cruciate Ligament Cohort Study is a research project that tracks people who have injured their ACL—a key ligament in the knee—to understand how their injuries heal and the best ways to treat them. By studying their progress over time, the study aims to identify factors that influence recovery, guide effective rehabilitation strategies, and improve outcomes for future patients. This research helps clinicians make better, evidence-based decisions to restore knee function and prevent further injury.
