Recruiting studies
- NCT06775197RecruitingPhase 4
Partial meniscus replacement with Spongioflex sponge
This trial tests a sponge-like implant (Spongioflex) to replace part of a torn meniscus in the knee. It may help people with pain on the inner or outer side of the knee who have enough healthy rim left to hold the implant.
Greven, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–60 - NCT05053646Recruiting
Check if a marrow venting procedure helps meniscus stitches heal
This study tests whether adding a “marrow venting” step during arthroscopic surgery can improve healing of stitched meniscus tears. It may help people whose meniscus tears are repairable with sutures, but eligibility is limited by tear type and overall health.
LuganoAges 16–50 - NCT05985772Recruiting
Surgery vs no surgery for a type of knee tear
This trial compares surgery with non-surgical treatment for a specific tear in the knee's meniscus, the posterior-medial root tear. It aims to find out which approach works better and helps you decide with your doctor.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06041763Recruiting
Bridge-enhanced ACL repair for meniscus repair
This study tests a special bridge implant to help heal a torn meniscus during surgery. It may help improve recovery and reduce the need for additional surgeries.
New York, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT07709819Recruiting
A second look inside the knee after surgery
This study looks inside your knee again after a previous surgery, using a very small camera to see how your knee has healed. It could help doctors learn more about how well these knee repairs work.
Las Vegas, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT06576557Recruiting
Exercise and education for knee pain from meniscal tear
This study tests whether a special exercise and education program, designed by experts, can help people with knee pain from meniscal tears or early arthritis feel better and move better. It is run by a university and involves working with your GP and a physiotherapist.
Tralee, KerryAges 35–69 - NCT06507241Recruiting
Knee meniscus root tear repair using ligament suture
This trial tests a surgical technique to fix a certain type of meniscus tear (called a root tear) by stitching it to the knee's posterior cruciate ligament. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients recover better.
BolognaAges 18–50 - NCT06176183Recruiting
Comparing arthroscopic meniscal repair methods in young patients
This study compares two different ways of surgically repairing a torn meniscus (the cartilage in your knee) using a camera. It is for patients under 19 who have a fresh, complete tear from a single injury and haven't had knee surgery before.
VilniusAges birth–19 years - NCT05560477RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug to help meniscus tears heal after knee injury
This early-phase study tests whether AM3101 can improve healing of a meniscus tear in the knee. Participants must meet age, scan, and health-lab requirements, and they will be closely followed during recovery to check safety and benefit.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–40 - NCT06749431Enrolling by invitation
Meniscus transplant study: long-term outcomes
This study looks at how well meniscus transplants work over time — including how long the graft lasts and how it protects knee cartilage. It may be a good fit if you are getting your first or a repeat meniscus transplant, sometimes along with other knee repairs.
Plano, TexasAges 10–65 - NCT04228367Recruiting
Study of a stitch device for repairing torn knee cartilage
This trial follows patients who need a meniscus (knee shock-absorber) repair and receive a specific stitching device. The goal is to check how well the device works over time and whether it’s safe and effective.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07388290Enrolling by invitation
Moving inner knee cartilage back into place for a root tear
This study looks at whether moving a torn inner knee cartilage back into place helps reduce the amount it sticks out. It is for people with a specific type of tear (Type 2) on MRI, whose cartilage has shifted by 3 to 6 millimeters.
West Vail, ColoradoAges 18–65 - NCT06541756Recruiting
Fibrin clot repair for torn knee cartilage
This trial tests whether adding a fibrin clot to standard meniscus repair helps heal a torn knee cartilage better. You'd get surgery, then an MRI one year later to check healing.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for meniscal tear?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 13 recruiting meniscal tear 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 meniscal tear 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 meniscal tear 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.
