Testing two-bundle surgery for a torn knee ligament
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial studies outcomes after a specific type of knee surgery for a torn ligament in the back of the knee. It may help people with a confirmed ligament tear who have pain and instability, by improving how well the knee works after reconstruction.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed tear of the ligament at the back of the knee (PCL), causing symptoms
- Your knee doctors have found the problem on exam and imaging (like X-ray/MRI)
- You can fully bend and straighten your knee (full range of motion)
- Your knee is not actively inflamed or swollen right now
- You are willing and able to follow the study visit and treatment plan
- You do not have a fixed posterior drawer position (the knee does not show a permanently stuck back shift)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether using a robot to help perform surgery on a specific type of knee fracture (where the ligament pulls off a piece of bone) leads to better recovery. The surgery is done soon after injury, and the robot may help the surgeon place the bone fragment more precisely.
This study looks at whether adding an extra procedure called lateral extra-articular tenodesis (which tightens a band of tissue on the outer side of the knee) to standard ACL reconstruction helps patients regain leg muscle mass faster. It may help you recover strength and return to activity sooner.
This study follows people who have a knee ligament tear and undergo surgery to rebuild the ligament. It may help doctors better understand recovery and outcomes after different surgical techniques.
This study compares three surgical methods for repairing a torn ACL, the main ligament that keeps your knee stable. It aims to find which technique gives the best recovery so you can return to activity.
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 trial compares two different techniques for ACL surgery (single bundle vs. double bundle) to see which one works better. If you're planning to have ACL surgery, you may be able to join.
