Hey sickboy1,

Hmmmm, I have to admit I cant recall anything right now. Can you be more specific of what you are looking for? For instance:

What are you hoping to answer by looking at the research study?

How did the injury occur?

How long has it been since the operation?

How old is the patient?

Was the patient active before the injury?

Does the patient have a positive outlook on their present situation?

What kind of massage are you thinking of?

How soon is the patient to be discharged from the hospital?

Have a great one

Hey sickboy1

Unfortunately I cant offer a suggestion. You always need to have an assessment done. There are stages of healing that needs to be respected. You can still massage all other areas of the body, just not the one that was operated on.
