What the publication reports
The guideline organises rehabilitation evidence and practical recommendations after ACL surgery. It provides a reference for clinicians planning exercise progression and evaluating readiness for later rehabilitation stages and sporting activity.
Limits and interpretation
A guideline does not replace surgical restrictions or individual assessment. Findings should not be used to promise an identical return date for all athletes.
