In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this randomised clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of exercise with blood flow restriction (BFR) in patients with a complete anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does blood flow restriction adds any additional benefits to conservative treatment of the ACL? 2. Does bracing promotes spontaneous healing to the ACL Researchers will compare bracing and BFR to bracing and sham BFR to see if the intervention provides any additional benefits to the conservative management of this injury. Participants will: 1. Use a knee brace for 6 weeks with adjustments according to protocol 2. Follow and identical exercise plan with either BFR (intervention group) or BFR sham (control group) 3. Follow a home based exercise program.
