This non-surgical approach has shown promising results for select ACL injury cases.

Who is Eligible for Cross Bracing for ACL Injuries in Newcastle?

Not all ACL injuries are the same, and eligibility for Cross Bracing for ACL recovery depends on multiple factors, such as:

Timing of injury – Early assessment is essential for the best chance of success.
Location and severity of the ACL rupture.
Presence of additional knee injuries or complications.
Age, activity level, and personal recovery goals.
