Knee motion study before meniscus surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study measures how your knee moves during everyday activities before your knee arthroscopy. The goal is to better understand knee function and improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are waiting for a knee arthroscopy (a small surgical camera procedure) to treat a torn meniscus (the cushioning tissue in your knee).
- You do not have an active infection.
- Your knee is not severely swollen.
- Your knee can straighten fully (no contracture).
- You can bend your knee at least 120 degrees (about a third of a full circle).
- You can walk without a major limp and perform the study's movement tasks.

This study uses ultrasound to create a 3D model of your knee before surgery, which may help the surgeon plan and guide the procedure more precisely. It is for people having knee replacement, realignment, or ACL reconstruction.
This study looks at how being afraid to move your knee before surgery might affect your recovery after arthroscopic meniscus surgery. It may help doctors better prepare patients for surgery and improve outcomes.
This study looks at how well people can use their legs after having part of the knee cartilage (meniscus) removed. It aims to understand recovery and may help improve future treatments.
This study looks at how the knee moves during surgery to rebuild the ACL (a ligament in the knee) and another ligament called the LAL. It aims to help doctors understand knee motion better, which could improve surgical techniques.
This trial checks how loose the knee feels during surgery for ACL reconstruction, ACL revision, or meniscus transplantation. The goal is to better assess knee stability during the operation, which may help surgeons choose the best repair.
This trial tests a new approach to prevent arthritis after surgery to remove part of a torn meniscus. It looks at whether a treatment can stop the knee from wearing down after the operation.
