The objective of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes in two groups of patients who underwent ACL reconstruction surgery in one group, surgery performed before the lockdown was followed by standard in- person physiotherapy while, in the other, surgery was done just before the lockdown and rehabilitation was performed by the patients themselves using the phone application. In France in the spring of 2020, the lockdown mandated due to the COVID-19 pandemic prevented patients from seeing their physiotherapists for 2 months. The self- rehabilitation smartphone application Doct'up (Healing SAS, Lyon, France) is designed for patients who have had anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery.
