Recruiting studies
- NCT07876635Recruiting
Knee tunnel placement study for ACL repair outcomes
This study looks at where the bone tunnel is placed during ACL reconstruction surgery and whether that placement affects how well the knee heals and functions after surgery. It could help doctors improve surgery techniques for better recovery.
SakaryaAges 18–50 - NCT02511158Recruiting
Knee ligament surgery study after ACL reconstruction
This study follows people who have a knee ligament tear and undergo surgery to rebuild the ligament. It may help doctors better understand recovery and outcomes after different surgical techniques.
ParisAges 7 years+ - NCT05701579Recruiting
Testing treatment choices for early ACL cartilage changes before surgery
This trial looks at a treatment strategy for people with specific early changes in the ACL seen on MRI who are planning knee surgery. It may help by testing the best way to address those ACL-related cartilage/mucosa-like changes before or during surgical care.
Bełchatów, Łódź VoivodeshipAges Any age - NCT06194682Recruiting
ACL reconstruction follow-up study
This study follows people who have had or will have ACL reconstruction surgery at this hospital. It helps doctors learn more about how patients recover after ACL surgery over the long term.
MilanAges 18–65 - NCT07862881Recruiting
Jump training after ACL reconstruction
This trial tests whether adding jump (plyometric) exercises to your recovery after ACL reconstruction can improve your strength and function. If you've had ACL surgery and are ready for more advanced rehab, this could help you get back to sports and daily activities.
Qina, Qena GovernorateAges 18–40 - NCT07862868Recruiting
Comparing two knee rehab exercises after ACL surgery
This study compares two different exercise programs to help people recover knee strength and function after ACL reconstruction surgery. One program uses steady machine-based exercises, while the other uses jumping and quick movements. The goal is to find which approach works better for getting you back to normal activities.
Qina, Qena GovernorateAges 18–40 - NCT02771548Recruiting
Strength and movement study after ACL knee surgery
This study looks at how your knee moves during daily-style tasks and how strong your muscles are after ACL surgery. It may help researchers understand recovery and improvement after reconstruction.
Dublin, LeinsterAges 13–45 - NCT05747079Recruiting
Early versus delayed surgery after a new ACL tear
This study compares immediate surgery versus waiting a short time for people with a new ACL injury. It aims to see which timing leads to better recovery and knee function.
LeuvenAges 16 years+ - NCT06379308Recruiting
ACL revision surgery study in France
This study looks at people who need a second ACL surgery (revision). It helps doctors learn more about these procedures to improve care.
Saint-EtienneAges 18 years+ - NCT07792863Recruiting
Leg strength and movement after ACL reconstruction
This study looks at how your leg muscles and movement patterns recover after ACL reconstruction surgery. It aims to understand progress and help improve rehabilitation.
Saint-Maurice, DemandeAges 18 years+ - NCT04781920Recruiting
Follow-up after ACL ligament surgery
This study is checking how people are doing after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (a surgery to repair a knee ligament). It may help researchers understand recovery and long-term outcomes after ACL surgery.
Saint-EtienneAges 18 years+ - NCT07762989Recruiting
Ankle recovery after ACL surgery using a leg tendon graft
This study examines how well the ankle and lower leg recover after ACL reconstruction when the graft is taken from the peroneus longus tendon. By participating, you help doctors learn how this procedure affects ankle strength and function, which may improve future care.
Çankaya, AnkaraAges 18–55 - NCT07671729Recruiting
Comparing two tendon grafts for ACL surgery
This study compares two types of tendon grafts (from your kneecap tendon or from a tendon in your leg) for ACL reconstruction. The goal is to see which one works better for getting you back to normal activity.
Istanbul, BesiktasAges 18–50 - NCT07636278Recruiting
Augmented Reality guidance for ACL knee surgery
This trial tests whether using augmented reality (special computer graphics overlaid on surgical video) during ACL reconstruction surgery helps surgeons perform the procedure more accurately. You would undergo standard knee surgery, but the surgeon would have real-time computer guidance to assist with precision.
Milan, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07580157Enrolling by invitation
Shockwave therapy for knee pain after ACL surgery
This study tests whether focused shockwave treatment can reduce knee pain in people who have had ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction surgery. Shockwave therapy uses sound waves to reduce pain and inflammation.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07523854Recruiting
Knee Strength Recovery After ACL Surgery: Comparing Graft Types
This study compares how well the knee recovers its strength after ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction surgery using two different graft options. By tracking your progress over time, researchers hope to understand which graft type helps you regain the most strength.
AnkaraAges 13–45 - NCT07501013Recruiting
Shoulder and knee surgery outcomes study
This study looks at how well different types of shoulder and knee surgeries work for sports injuries. It aims to help improve future care by following patients' recovery after common procedures like fixing torn cartilage or repairing ligaments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 8–80 - NCT07485530Recruiting
Testing ultrasound strain tracking for physical therapy
This trial tests whether a new ultrasound method (speckle tracking) can measure soft tissue movement and strain to help guide physical therapy. It is looking for three groups: male pitchers, people with a foot tendon problem needing surgery, and people who had ACL knee surgery.
TaipeiAges 18–65 - NCT07475351Recruiting
Comparing two grafts for ACL reconstruction
This trial compares two types of grafts to rebuild the ACL in the knee, to see if one leads to better results. It is for active athletes with a recent ACL tear and healthy knees.
Granada, GranadaAges 12–40 - NCT04770233Recruiting
Comparing early surgery options for torn ACL
This study looks at the best way to treat a fresh ACL (an important knee ligament) tear by comparing an “early surgery” plan that starts within 12 weeks. It may help guide care and recovery for people who are able to do both the surgery and the follow-up rehabilitation.
Lørenskog, AkershusAges 16–50 - NCT06190223Recruiting
ACL repair using kneecap tendon with press-fit method
This study looks at a specific ACL reconstruction technique using a graft from your kneecap tendon that is fixed with a press-fit method. It aims to determine how well patients recover after at least one year.
AnkaraAges 18–55 - NCT07423767Recruiting
Counseling before ACL surgery to reduce fear and improve recovery
This study tests whether a short counseling program before ACL surgery can help reduce fear of movement and improve recovery. If you are preparing for your first ACL reconstruction, this program may help you feel more confident and get back to activities sooner.
Beijing, None SelectedAges 18–45 - NCT07377669Enrolling by invitation
Partial knee replacement plus ACL repair study
This study tests a combination surgery: repairing the torn ACL at the same time as replacing only the damaged part of your knee. It's designed for active people with arthritis in one knee compartment and a fully torn ACL.
BolognaAges 18–75 - NCT06858930Recruiting
Navigation system for ACL reconstruction
This trial tests a special computer navigation system to help surgeons place the new ACL graft more precisely during knee reconstruction. If you have a torn ACL and are between 18 and 80, this study might help improve your surgery outcomes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for anterior cruciate ligament?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 148 recruiting anterior cruciate ligament studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a anterior cruciate ligament trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a anterior cruciate ligament trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
