Faster rehab after ACL surgery, with or without extra tape
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of post-surgery rehab after ACL reconstruction: an accelerated (faster) rehab program alone versus the same rehab plus added suture-tape reinforcement. It may help find which approach leads to better healing, stability, and return to activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 15 and 50 years old.
- Your injury is only an ACL injury (no other ligament injuries in the same knee).
- Your knee surgery is for a recent injury or a long-lasting (chronic) ACL injury.
- You may have a meniscus injury, but not injuries involving multiple ligaments.
- You have not had ACL surgery on this knee before, and you haven’t had prior ACL repair/reconstruction that failed. (No “revision” for a failed prior repair.)

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 immediate surgery versus waiting a short time for people with a new ACL injury. It aims to see which timing leads to better recovery and knee function.
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 compares two types of grafts to rebuild the ACL in the knee, to see if one leads to better results. It is for active athletes with a recent ACL tear and healthy knees.
This trial compares two techniques for ACL reconstruction—one uses an enriched, patient’s own bone during surgery and the other uses the standard approach. It may help researchers understand whether the enriched bone method improves knee healing and function.
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.
