Study of a stitch device for repairing torn knee cartilage
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This trial compares different treatments for knee osteoarthritis caused by a tear where the medial meniscus (the inner cushion of your knee) attaches to the bone. It aims to find the best approach to relieve pain and improve function in people with early to moderate arthritis.
This trial tests a donated human meniscus implant (Spongioflex®) for people who have lost part of the wedge-shaped cushion in their knee and have pain on that side. The goal is to replace the missing piece and relieve pain, helping you avoid or delay more serious surgery.
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.
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.
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.
