Interventions

OTHER

Cryotherapy

Crushed ice (1kg) inside a plastic bag (24x34x0,08 cm). The positioning of the plastic bags will cover the entire knee surface (Anterior, lateral and posterior region). After the positioning of the ice bags, they will be fixed with an elastic bandage (compression). To protect the skin against frost bites, all the knee surface will be covered with a moistened operative field (45x50x0,01 cm, 100% cotton)

OTHER

Placebo - Sand

Sand (1kg) inside a plastic bag (24x34x0,08 cm). The positioning of the plastic bags will cover the entire knee surface (Anterior, lateral and posterior region). After the positioning of the sand bags, they will be fixed with an elastic bandage (compression). Also, all the knee surface will be covered with a moistened operative field (45x50x0,01 cm, 100% cotton) to mimic the experimental group.
