[Purpose] The authors' institute offers a comprehensive inpatient approach to rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery, providing nutritional and psychological support in addition to exercise and physical therapy. This study aimed to determine the outcomes of athletes undergoing this comprehensive rehabilitation program and to compare the outcomes of bone-patellar tendon-bone and semitendinosus/gracilis autograft recipients. [Participants and Methods] Elite athletes who underwent comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation at the authors' institute for at least two weeks after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were mailed a questionnaire. Their recovery levels, which were measured against preinjury performance, and secondary anterior cruciate ligament injury rates, were evaluated and compared according to graft type. [Results] Valid responses from 45 athletes were analyzed (bone-patellar tendon-bone [n=12]; semitendinosus/gracilis [n=33]). The frequency of return to preinjury activity levels and secondary anterior cruciate ligament injury were comparable between bone-patellar tendon-bone and semitendinosus/gracilis graft recipients. A greater proportion of athletes returned to preinjury activity levels, while a lower percentage experienced re-rupture compared to previous studies. [Conclusion] A comprehensive rehabilitative approach after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction may contribute to improved postoperative performance irrespective of graft type. Objective evaluations are needed in the future to clarify the benefits of specific rehabilitative approaches.
