Non- Vs Partial Controlled Weightbearing After Multiple Knee Ligament Reconstruction

Description

This is a prospective randomized controlled trial with the purpose to determine if patients undergoing isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction, or isolated medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction, or combined PCL, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), fibular collateral ligament (FCL), posterolateral corner (PLC), and MCL reconstructions (or any combination of multiple ligaments) can safely begin partial controlled weightbearing for the first six weeks after surgery.
