Ligament Reconstruction in an Accelerated Rehabilitation Protocol

NCT05571241 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2022-10-07

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators have found that their patients who get earlier rehabilitation following ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI) surgery with interference screws have experienced better outcomes. The investigators hypothesis is that when formally comparing these patients who are exposed to the rehabilitation protocol earlier compared to later, the investigators will see statistically better outcomes.
