Choosing the best ligament graft for ACL repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a first-time ACL tear confirmed by a clinician
- Your ACL injury happened within the last 2 years
- Before the injury, you were quite active and you have personal goals to return to sports or physical activity
- You can understand and answer study questionnaires in Danish
- You have not had prior ligament surgery on either knee (injured or uninjured)

This trial tests a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged meniscus (the knee's cushion) while also repairing the ACL (a key ligament), using a tendon graft to stabilize the knee. It is designed for people whose knee problems have not gotten better with therapy or pain relievers.
This study compares two common types of tendon grafts used in ACL reconstruction surgery to see which one works better for patients. If you had one of these grafts, your information may help doctors learn which option leads to better knee function and quality of life.
This trial compares two ways to rebuild a torn ACL using either a piece of your quadriceps tendon (with a small bone piece) or a piece of your patellar tendon (with bone). The goal is to find which graft works best for long-term stability and recovery.
This study compares different graft types used to rebuild the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee after a complete tear. It aims to find which graft gives the best long-term outcomes for active women who play pivoting sports.
This study compares how well the knee recovers its strength after ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction surgery using two different graft options. By tracking your progress over time, researchers hope to understand which graft type helps you regain the most strength.
This study compares two types of grafts (tissue used to rebuild the ligament) for ACL surgery: one from the kneecap tendon and one from the thigh muscle tendon. The goal is to see if one causes less pain in the front of the knee than the other.
