Dear group:
Seeking advice on protocols, thoughts for knee flexion post arthroscopic ACL
repair.

Different authors appear to recommend different approaches for the days 1 - 5
post op. Some suggest PROM knee flexion, others active assisted ROM, and
others AROM. Understanding that initially knee flexion is not allowed with
the knee in weight bearing what approaches are members of the group taking
for this early stage of rehab? (Frequently the patient is not using CPM and
does not present with significant edema.)

Rationale and or evidence to support your approach is much appreciated.
Many thanks
Fran Wedge
