Study Name:

Surgical Timing and Rehabilitation for Multiple Ligmant Knee Injuries

Enrollment Status:Current Study

Principal Investigator(s):

Brad NelsonMD

Co-Investigator(s):

Jonathan CooperDO ; James Irrgang, PT, PhD ; Volker Musahl, MD

Diagnosis Being Studied:

Multiple ligament knee injuries represent a spectrum of injury from disruption of at least two ligaments, to disruption of all four major knee ligaments: the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and the lateral collateral ligament (LCL).

Innovation:

The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of timing of surgery (early vs. delayed) and timing of post-operative rehabilitation (early vs. delayed) for the treatment of military personnel and civilians that sustain a multiple ligament knee injury.

Who Should Participate:

Patients between the ages of 16-55 with a multiple ligament knee injury
