OrthopaedicsandTrauma.com asked Richatrd Misselbrook, London physiotherapist about the use of the Cryo/Cuff™ Cooler after knee surgery. He said " I use this in patients following keyhole anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. It seems to help my patients with the discomfort or pain after this operation. We use it at the patients home or in our Sloane Square London Practice. He said that some of his patients even purchase a unit before surgery so that they can continue with it after at home.
