Can a short stint in a knee brace boost recovery after revision knee surgery?
NCT ID NCT07552415
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether wearing a knee brace that keeps the knee straight for 10 days after revision total knee replacement helps improve knee bending and straightening 3 months later. About 170 people having revision surgery for reasons like loosening or wear will be split into two groups: one wears the brace and skips range-of-motion exercises for 10 days, the other follows standard physical therapy. The goal is to see if a short rest period leads to better movement.
