Serino J, et al. - This network meta-analysis was planned to compare adverse event rates and function outcomes between repair methods and between post-operative mobilization protocols. This seemed the first network meta-analysis to date that compared treatment of extensor mechanism ruptures (EMRs). Results were consistent with the current body of knowledge that there is no single superior repair method. Despite an increasing trend towards early or immediate post-operative knee mobilization, early mobilization seemed associated with significantly higher adverse event and total event rates compared to fixed immobilization for a minimum of 6 weeks. This suggested an increased financial burden and decreased quality of life associated with early post-operative mobilization.
