Summary

This study tests whether a small, absorbable implant containing the drug oxandrolone can safely help people recover muscle mass and strength after ACL knee surgery. About 96 adults aged 18 to 60 who have had ACL reconstruction will receive either the drug implant or a placebo. The goal is to see if the implant improves rehabilitation without causing serious side effects.
