Abstract
) was nearly 4 cm, compared with the arthroscopic groups average of 1 cm. By the 21st postoperative day, all patients who underwent open procedures sustained an average of 6.5 cm thigh circumference decrease compared with a 2 to 3.5 cm loss in the arthroscopic group. We concluded that traditional rehabilitation protocols are often ineffective in preventing the significant quadriceps muscle athrophy that may occur within the first few days of surgery. Of importance was the finding that initiating early knee motion did not stretch out ligamentous reconstructions. Verf.-Referat
