To brace or not to brace after ACL reconstruction with Dr Christina Le
Show Notes

In this episode with Dr Christina Le, we discuss her Research Review of a recent article which looked at a bracing protocol vs going brace-free for the first 6 weeks post ACL reconstruction with hamstring autograft. We discuss the strengths and limitations of the paper as well as what we as clinicians should take away from the paper and use in our own clinical practice.

Dr Christina Le is a physiotherapist and completed her PhD in 2022 at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. As a clinician, she primarily treats individuals with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Having sustained a previous ACL injury herself, she has developed an interest in understanding health-related quality of life (HRQOL) following a sport-related knee injury in youth.
