Rotate-project

Research towards individualized treatment recommendation in patients with an anterior cruciate ligament rupture.

What we do

About our project

An anterior cruciate ligament rupture is a very common injury in the sports active population. The ligament is important for the stability in the knee joint. There roughly are two possible treatments:

  • Physical therapy
  • Reconstruction

It is sometimes hard in daily practice to choose the best treatment for an individual patient. Because of this, there is a lot of cross-over between the two possible treatment strategies. This causes a delay for the right treatment to start.

In the ROTATE-trial we are researching how to come to the most optimal treatment strategy for the individual patient.
