Accelerated MRI scans after ACL knee injury surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a faster MRI scan method to measure healing in the knee after an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tear and reconstruction. It may help researchers compare scan quality while participants go through standard rehab.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You must be able to have MRI scans safely (no unsafe metal devices and not severely claustrophobic)
- You must not be pregnant
- You must have a recent full ACL tear in one knee (the other knee is not injured)
- You must have ACL reconstruction surgery and complete the usual rehab before and after

This study uses MRI scans to check how well the new ACL graft (a piece of your own patellar tendon) heals after surgery. The goal is to see if the special treatment used with the graft helps it mature better.
This trial studies ACL (knee ligament) injuries and how the tibia (shin bone) shifts, using MRI scans taken before surgery. It may help doctors better understand knee instability and improve how ACL injuries are evaluated and treated.
This trial is testing a new approach to care for people with a possible torn ACL (the ligament in your knee). It uses a special exam to measure knee looseness automatically, and the goal is to give you a faster path to the right treatment.
This trial tests a new MRI technique called Magic Angle Direction Imaging (MADI) to see if it can give better images of the knee before ligament repair surgery. It may help doctors plan your surgery more accurately.
This study uses computer models and MRI scans to predict how knee cartilage and pain may change over time in people with early osteoarthritis or a recent ACL tear. It aims to find better ways to manage these conditions and prevent long-term damage.
This study uses brain scans (fMRI) to see how a special type of movement training affects the brain after ACL surgery. If you've had an ACL repair and are active in sports, you may be eligible.
