I need a identified protocol for my PhD thesis, but I just find some protocols that are used AFTER ACL surgery!! Can we use those protocols before surgery too? Thanks ..........

There is also an outlined protocol on the below link (bottom of the page).
Here's an interesting new reference that might be of help to you:
