The investigators will conduct a double-blinded, single-institution, randomized controlled trial to compare patients undergoing arthroscopic meniscus repair with post-operative rehabilitation protocol as (1) a standard-of-care rehabilitative protocol with a non-occlusive blood pressure cuff (inflated to 20-30 mm Hg) applied to the operative extremity versus (2) blood flow restriction training with cuff occlusion applied to the operative extremity. Patients will be enrolled prospectively and pre-operatively at their initial clinic visit after meniscus injury.~Rehabilitative exercises would be advanced per the physical therapists' discretion with similar exercises for patients in both groups for direct comparison. These exercises are part of an already-established post-operative protocol that is in place, with the only difference being the addition of the blood flow restriction protocol in the intervention group. All patients would undergo their supervised post-operative rehabilitation at our institution.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate post-operative outcomes after meniscus surgery in participants undergoing blood flow restriction training as a rehabilitative adjunct compared to those with standard rehabilitation.
