Proprioceptive recovery has received an increased amount of attention after undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. However, ACL reconstruction without rehabilitation training could not significantly improve the reduction and function of the proprioceptor. This study aimed to explore whether nerve growth factor (NGF) could cause proprioceptive changes after ACL reconstruction through histopathological and electrophysiological evaluations.
