Withdrawn study: can a cuff boost recovery after leg fracture surgery?

NCT ID NCT06589115

First seen Nov 03, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 40 times

Summary

This study aimed to see if adding blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy to standard physical therapy improves recovery after surgery for a tibial plateau fracture. It planned to enroll adults who had that surgery and measure knee function, muscle size, and movement over one year. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data were collected.
