Early rehab after arthroscopic fiber‑wire fixation for tibial spine avulsion fracture
Early Rehabilitationin in Tibial Spine Avulsion Fracture Managed With Arthoscopic Fibre Wire Fixation
This trial tests whether starting controlled early rehabilitation after arthroscopic fiber‑wire fixation helps 15–25-year-olds with tibial spine avulsion fractures recover knee motion and strength faster.

What this trial studies
This randomized trial at the Department of Orthopedics & Sports Surgery, Jinnah Hospital/Allama Iqbal Medical College, Lahore, will compare an early postoperative rehabilitation program to a conventional delayed program in patients aged 15–25 who undergo arthroscopic fiber‑wire fixation for tibial spine avulsion. Eligible participants will be randomized using a lottery method and followed with regular clinical assessments. Key outcomes include knee range of motion, quadriceps strength, functional performance, return to activity, and any compromise of surgical fixation. The protocol aims to determine whether controlled early mobilization improves recovery without increasing complications.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are males or females aged 15–25 who have an acute tibial spine avulsion treated with arthroscopic fiber‑wire fixation and who can attend follow‑up at the study center.
Not a fit: Patients with neglected fractures older than six months, polytrauma, multiligamentous knee injuries, significant knee deformities (genu valgus/varus), or other exclusion conditions are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, early rehabilitation could shorten recovery time and improve knee motion, muscle strength, and return to activities without jeopardizing the surgical repair.
How similar studies have performed: Early mobilization after knee ligament fixation has shown promising results in related settings, but randomized evidence specifically for arthroscopic fiber‑wire fixation in tibial spine avulsions is limited.
