Pre-surgery rehab to improve healing after knee ligament injury
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old
- Your MRI shows an ACL tear or a patellar dislocation
- You are having your first one-sided ligament reconstruction at this hospital
- You do not have severe injuries to other knee ligaments
- You have no history of past knee trauma

This study looks at how your exercise habits before surgery might affect your knee function and the chance of re-injury after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. It aims to help doctors give better advice on post-surgery rehabilitation.
This study tests whether a special recovery plan helps patients who have arthroscopic ACL (knee ligament) surgery go home the same day and heal better. The protocol includes things like pain management, early movement, and clear instructions to speed up your return to normal activities.
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.
This study tests whether a short counseling program before ACL surgery can help reduce fear of movement and improve recovery. If you are preparing for your first ACL reconstruction, this program may help you feel more confident and get back to activities sooner.
This study tests whether a sports rehabilitation program can help heal two common knee injuries at the same time: a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and worn cartilage behind the kneecap (patellar chondromalacia). If you have these conditions, the program aims to reduce pain and improve function.
This trial tests whether doing special exercises before ACL surgery (called prehabilitation) helps you recover better after the operation. It's for people who have a first-time ACL tear and are scheduled for reconstruction surgery using a tendon from their own body.
