Oxandrolone Multiligament Knee
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study is about healing after a rmultiligament knee reconstruction procedure. We hope to learn if a biologic medication: Oxandrolone, a synthetic derivative of the human hormone Testosterone (the principal male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid), given for 12 weeks is effective in aiding in the healing process and restoring muscle mass.
