Study after first ACL reconstruction in children
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at children’s outcomes after their first ACL ligament surgery using a specific graft (quadriceps tendon). It may help doctors compare and improve how ACL repairs are done in growing kids with open or closing growth plates.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or younger
- You had ACL injury surgery within 6 months of the injury
- This is your first (not repeat) ACL reconstruction on the same knee
- Your surgeon plans to use a quadriceps tendon graft to rebuild the ACL
- Your knee growth plates are closing or already closed (not fully open in a specific way)

This study follows people who have had or will have ACL reconstruction surgery at this hospital. It helps doctors learn more about how patients recover after ACL surgery over the long term.
This trial looks at treatment options for people with a partial ACL ligament tear in the knee, including both recent and long-standing injuries. It may help to clarify the best early approach for healing and knee function, especially when there are no other ligament injuries.
This study looks at outcomes after surgery to repair the ACL (a knee ligament that helps stabilize the joint). If you’re having ACL reconstruction, the trial may help doctors understand what factors lead to better recovery.
This study compares how well people recover after two different types of ACL surgery: reconstruction (using a graft) and primary repair (stitching the torn ligament). It will help doctors understand which approach leads to better knee function long-term. Participants must be between 18 and 40, had their ACL surgery at Gazi University, and be at least one year past surgery.
This trial compares using a quadriceps tendon graft versus a hamstring graft during ACL reconstruction in children and teens whose growth plates are still open. It aims to see which graft works better after ACL injury while accounting for ongoing bone growth.
This study looks at how different “grafts” (tissue used to rebuild the ACL) affect outcomes after first-time ACL reconstruction. It may help personalize graft choice for people who want to return to physical activity.
