    The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most important tissues that help stabilize the knee, however, it represents more than half of all injuries sustained in a sports environment, being a very important challenge in recovery. Therefore, the objective of this review is to identify articles that address the use of BFR in physiotherapy as a treatment to improve quadriceps strength and cross-sectional area in patients with ACL reconstruction and to determine its effectiveness. Methods: The search was carried out from September 5 to 16, 2024 in the main databases PubMed and ScienceDirect and the methodology was assessed using the AMSTAR-2 scale, leaving 8 articles selected for this review. Results: BFR-E increases muscle strength, significantly reduces strength deficits in isokinetic knee extension, improves muscle endurance and function, increases quadriceps muscle size, and attenuates concentric isokinetic strength losses after surgery and rehabilitation. Conclusion: Findings suggest that BFR is a valuable tool for rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction, however, outcomes may vary depending on the exercise protocol.
