Effects of HMB Supplementation on Recovery Following ACL Surgery

NCT02602561 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 4

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a primary stabilizer of the knee, and thus when ACL injury occurs participation in physical activity is compromised. Reconstructive surgery is often necessary to repair the damage which is then followed by a regimen of physical therapy in order to regain full activity. Nutritional intervention after the surgery could help the patient maintain muscle mass during recovery, thus allowing for a quicker return to normal activity.
