| Core Tip |
This systematic review and meta-analysis investigate whether the addition of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) to postoperative rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction provides meaningful functional benefits. While some studies show promising improvements, especially with focused ESWT, overall evidence remains mixed due to variations in technique, study design, and follow-up duration. Our findings suggest that ESWT may support recovery; however, more rigorous, standardized trials are needed to confirm its actual clinical value. |
