Full versus partial weight bearing after FCL ligament repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two rehab plans: doing full weight bearing versus partial weight bearing during the first 6 weeks after fibular collateral ligament (FCL) reconstruction. It may help figure out which approach is safer and better for healing and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 14 years old but under 60
- Your surgery is an FCL ligament reconstruction (not a revision surgery)
- Your procedure is either FCL only or combined with ACL reconstruction
- You can follow the rehab schedule and you can understand and sign the consent form
- You are not pregnant

This trial tests a specific, step-by-step approach to how much weight you put on your healing knee after surgery for certain ligament injuries (like PCL and/or MCL, and some combined cases). It may help you heal safely and recover function without putting too much strain on the repair.
This study tracks people who had surgery to reattach the medial collateral ligament (MCL) in the knee, alone or with other repairs. It measures how well and how safely they return to sports. If you had this surgery, you may help improve future care.
This study looks at how your mental readiness, knee function, and strength relate after ACL reconstruction using a specific type of tendon graft. It may help you understand if you're ready to return to sports.
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 how amateur athletes return to sports six months after reconstructive surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which is a key knee ligament. It uses physical tests to measure knee strength and function, which may help guide your recovery.
This study compares two different rehabilitation programs after ACL reconstruction surgery — one standard and one accelerated — to see if a faster recovery is safe and effective. It also checks whether adding a suture tape (a strong reinforcement) to the reconstruction makes a difference.
