U.S., May 17 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06974526) titled 'Subdermal Implant-bioabsorbable Oxandrolone Pellet For Rehabilitation Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Surgical Reconstruction' on April 28.
Brief Summary: Rehabilitation of knee stability and function after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is slow and costly. The use of anabolic steroids, such as oxandrolone, may aid in the recovery of muscle mass and strength, as well as functional capacity. Oxandrolone, derived from dihydrotestosterone, has high anabolic activity and low androgenic activity (a 13:1 ratio), making it more effective in promoting weight gain with fewer side effects compared to other steroids....
