What this Trial Is About
The goal of this study is to evaluate if knee immobilization for 10 days following revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) improves knee joint range of motion at 3 months postoperatively compared to standard of care postoperative protocol. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups. One group will wear a knee brace that keeps the knee straight for 10 days after surgery and will not perform knee range of motion exercises during that time. The other group will not wear a brace and will follow the standard physical therapy program, including knee range of motion exercises, starting after surgery.
