Introduction. Over the past 30 years multiple wars and embargos have reduced healthcare resources, infrastructure, and staff in Iraq. Subsequently, there are a lack of physiotherapists to provide rehabilitation after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The implementation of home-based rehabilitation programmes may provide a potential solution to this problem. This study, set in in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, describes the epidemiology and outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) followed by home-based rehabilitation alone. Methods. A cohort observational study of patients aged ≥ 16 years with an ACL rupture who underwent an ACLR under a single surgeon. This was performed arthroscopically using a hamstring autograft (2 portal technique). Patients completed a home-based rehabilitation programme of appropriate simplicity for the home setting. The programme consisted of stretching, range of motion and strengthening exercises based on criterion rehabilitation progressions. A full description of the programme is provided at: . https://ngmvcharity.co.uk/. . Demographics, mechanisms of injury, operative findings, and outcome data (Lysholm, Tegner Activity Scale (TAS), and revision rates) were collected from 2016 to 2021. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Results. The cohort consisted of 545 patients (547 knees), 99.6% were male with a mean age of 27.8 years (SD 6.18 years). The mean time from diagnosis to surgery was 40.6 months (SD 40.3). Despite data attrition Lysholm scores improved over the 15-month follow-up period, matched data showed the most improvement occurred within the first 2 months post-operatively. A peak score of 90 was observed at nine months. Post-operative TAS results showed an improvement in level of function but did not reach pre-injury levels by the final follow-up. At final follow-up, six (1.1%) patients required an ACLR revision. Conclusion. Patients who completed a home-based rehabilitation programme in Kurdistan had low revision rates and improved Lysholm scores 15 months post-operatively. To optimise resources, further research should investigate the efficacy of home-based rehabilitation for trauma and elective surgery in low- to middle-income countries and the developed world
