Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

active comparator: Non-weightbearing for the first six weeks after surgery

Not weightbearing after surgery

experimental: Partial weight -bearing for the first six weeks after surgery

Partial weightbearing will be defined as 40% of the patient's body weight.

Interventions

Physical Therapy

Patient is randomized to the weightbearing group the day after surgery.

Primary outcome measure

  • Gapping (mm) measured on Standard of Care Varus stress radiographs [ Time Frame: Pre-operative ]
  • Gapping (mm) measured on Standard of Care Varus stress radiographs [ Time Frame: 6 months post-surgery ]
