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)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 study compares two types of tendon grafts (from your kneecap tendon or from a tendon in your leg) for ACL reconstruction. The goal is to see which one works better for getting you back to normal activity.
This study compares two ways to rebuild the ACL using different tendon grafts (quadriceps tendon vs patellar tendon) taken from your own body. It aims to learn which option leads to better recovery after ACL reconstruction, including strength and function.
This study tests a new, lab-grown ligament made from biological tissue for ACL reconstruction. It may offer a regenerative option for people with a recent ACL tear who need surgery.
