We evaluated the effectiveness of sports rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with 57 patients who had underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft. The group I (21 cases without sports rehabilitation) was compared with the group II (36 cases with sports rehabilitation) in terms of the strength of hamstring and quadriceps muscles by Cybex test and the Lysholm score. The mean hamstring strength at postoperative 6 months was 73.3Nm in the group I and 76.8Nm in the group II and that of postoperative 1 year was 92.8Nm in the group I and 95.0Nm in the group II(p=0.81). But the mean quadriceps strength at postoperative 6 months was 88.6Nm in the group I and 85.5Nm in the group II and that of postoperative 1 year was 124.0Nm in the group I and 137.7Nm in the group II(p=0. 03). As a result, the hamstring strength had no statistically significant difference between the group I and the group II. On the other hand, the quadriceps strength had statistically significant improvement in the group II. The mean Lysholm scores of the group I and group II were 86.7 and 87.3 points at preoperative period and 89.4 and 93.4 points at postoperative 1 year, but it had no statistical significance(p=0.17).Sports rehabilitation can improve quadriceps strength and it would play a major role for the early return to exercise after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
