Achilles tendon repair ROM protocol

A

0-2 weeks DF to neutral
3-4 weeks DF to 5 degrees
4 week on DF to tolerance

19

A

ankle in neutral 0-4 weeks

avoid end ROM DF and eversion

23

ACL graft vascularation

A

strongest at implementation
weakest at 6-8 weeks
resembles normal connective tissue at 6-9 months

24
Q

ACL reconstruction WBing

A

WBAT with brace locked in ext x 4 wks; crutches 1 week

without a brace: crutches 2 weeks

25
Q

ACL reconstruction ROM

A

0-1 wk 90 degrees
2-3 wks 120 degrees
3-4 wks full
extension must be obtained ASAP (before 1 mo to avoid contracture)

26
Q

ACL reconstuction strength

A
