This study is looking at whether patients who have had surgery to fix multiple knee ligaments can safely put some weight on their leg soon after surgery. You could be eligible if you are between 14 and 59 years old and have had reconstruction of your posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), or a combination of knee ligaments. The study will compare two groups: one that doesn't put any weight on their leg for the first six weeks, and another that puts some weight on it. Researchers will measure how much the knee joint moves (gapping) using X-rays at six months after surgery to see if there's a difference between the groups. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status.

Study design

This is a randomized controlled trial involving 50 participants. You would be randomly assigned to one of two physical therapy groups.

What's involved

You would be assigned to a rehabilitation protocol for the first six weeks after surgery. You will also have stress X-rays before surgery and at six months post-surgery.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your knee gapping will be measured at six months post-surgery.
