Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The aim of our study is to add to the literature the effect of the effectiveness of the physiotherapy and rehabilitation in the clinic, which will be applied to the patients after the osteochondral allograft transplantation operation, which is a current treatment approach applied after knee cartilage tissue damage, on the range of motion, functionality, pain and muscle strength of the patients during the recovery process. The clinical importance of our aim is that it will have the potential to guide health professionals in determining the appropriate treatment approach in order to reveal the best results that can be obtained due to the lack of many studies in the literature on the treatment of patients after osteochondral allograft surgery.
