Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Adapted Rehabilitation in Adolescents with Intellectual Developmental Disorder: A Three-Case Series

In adolescents with intellectual developmental disorder (IDD), limitations in intellectual and adaptive functioning may also influence communication and motor learning. Evidence describing ACL reconstruction and postoperative rehabilitation in this population is limited.
