Controlled weight-bearing after PCL or MCL knee ligament repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
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 was to repair certain knee ligaments, such as PCL alone, MCL alone, or specific combined ligament injuries
- Your surgery is a new repair (not a revision/re-do PCL surgery)
- You are not pregnant
- You can follow the trial schedule and understand the consent form well enough to sign it

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.
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 trial tests if injecting platelet-rich plasma (a concentration of your own blood platelets) after ACL reconstruction helps with healing and reduces pain. It's for people who recently had ACL surgery and want to try an extra treatment to improve recovery.
This study looks at whether doing physical therapy before surgery can improve tendon healing, bone density, and joint cushioning after ACL surgery or patellar dislocation surgery. It may help you recover better and faster by optimizing your knee before the operation.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for ACL reconstruction. The standard method repairs the ACL inside the knee joint, while the new method also adds extra support outside the joint. The study aims to see which approach gives better stability and recovery for people with specific risk factors, like being a young athlete or having a chronic ACL tear.
This trial studies whether starting walking exercises earlier after ACL reconstruction can help protect the knee cartilage from wearing down. It may be a good fit if you are having your first ACL surgery at Peking University Third Hospital and your knee has already healed from the initial injury.
