Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study is to determine if there is difference in immediate postoperative pain levels 48 hours between patients who wear a knee immobilizer splint compared to patients who do not wear a knee immobilizer splint after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery
Detailed Description:
This study will attempt to evaluate the efficacy of knee immobilization on patient postoperative pain levels following an ACL reconstruction There is a lack of consensus in the area of postoperative knee bracingimmobilization A survey of Canadian surgeons indicates that the primary reason for postoperative knee immobilization is to reduce pain To the investigators knowledge there are no studies comparing the use of immediate 0-48 hours postoperative knee immobilization versus no immobilization and pain control in this patient population
