(OATS)/Cartilage Transplantation Rehab Protocol
Keys to a Successful Outcome
-
Range of motion exercises should be carried out frequently throughout the day to help remodel and contour healing cartilage.
-
Avoid any heavy weight lifting or excessive weight bearing for the first six weeks.
-
Wean from crutches at own pace. You do not need to rush the transition and should work on gaining confidence before walking without any assistive device.
