Blood Flow Restriction Therapy Improves Tibial Plateau Fracture Recovery

NCT06589115 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2025-11-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigates the effectiveness of physical therapy augmented with blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy relative to standard physical therapy in patients after an open reduction and internal fixation of a closed tibial plateau fracture.

The main aims are:

* Collect functional and patient self-reported outcomes data
* Assess leg muscle atrophy
* Acquire motion analysis dynamics and knee strength data.

Participants will be randomized into either a rehabilitation protocol or that protocol with blood flow restriction and be followed for 1 year.
