Postoperative Rehabilitation Protocol

The patients were provided with guidance for exercises involving muscle contraction and knee flexion and extension. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy was started 2 weeks after surgery, and radiographs were performed every 3 months after surgery. When bone healing was visible on the radiographs, weight-bearing exercises were commenced. The presence of a continuous callus on the radiograph with the disappearance of the fracture line at the connecting part indicated complete healing and the patients progressed to full weight-bearing.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
