Study Summary
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a primary stabilizer of the knee, and thus when ACL injury occurs participation in physical activity is compromised. Reconstructive surgery is often necessary to repair the damage which is then followed by a regimen of physical therapy in order to regain full activity. Nutritional intervention after the surgery could help the patient maintain muscle mass during recovery, thus allowing for a quicker return to normal activity.
Primary Outcome
Measurement of muscle mass will indicate if the active comparator has preserved or increased muscle mass during the post-surgical recovery period.
