Compare brace and rehab for ACL reconstruction
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of rehabilitating the knee after ACL rupture repair. It’s meant to see which approach helps people return to their prior sport more safely and effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were very active before your injury (Tegner activity score 7 or higher).
- You plan to go back to your previous sport at the same activity level.
- Your ACL injury happened no more than 6 months before starting the study.
- Your ACL tear must be confirmed by an MRI scan.
- You must not have certain other knee problems or risk factors (examples: arthritis on X-ray, other ligament injuries, or prior knee injuries/surgeries).

This study compares two ways to treat a torn ACL: bracing alone or surgery using your own quadriceps tendon. It aims to find which option helps you return to sports best.
This trial compares two ways to rebuild a torn ACL using either a piece of your quadriceps tendon (with a small bone piece) or a piece of your patellar tendon (with bone). The goal is to find which graft works best for long-term stability and recovery.
This trial compares three different arthroscopic surgery techniques to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. It aims to find out which method leads to the best recovery and long-term knee function.
This study compares two physical therapy methods—perturbation training (balance challenges) versus functional activity training—to help men recover better knee movement, balance, and strength after ACL reconstruction surgery. It aims to find which approach reduces pain and improves daily activities more effectively.
This study compares two ways to repair a torn ACL: stitching it back together (repair) versus using a graft from another tendon (reconstruction). It is for people who have a fresh, uncomplicated ACL tear and want to see which approach works better.
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.
