ACL surgery with a tunnel widened using enriched bone
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 18 and 50 years old.
- Your ACL injury is your first/primary ACL tear in the same knee.
- Your surgery happens between 4 weeks and 6 months after the injury.
- You have an isolated ACL tear (no other ligament tears or instability).
- You need ACL surgery done by one of the participating senior surgeons.
- You can do required study steps (including MRI) and follow instructions, and you agree to the study in writing.

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 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 studies a new way to reconstruct a torn ACL using your own bone marrow cells and a special internal brace to help you return to sports. It's for young athletes who haven't had ACL surgery before.
This study compares two ways to repair a torn ACL: stitching it back together (repair) versus using a graft from another tendon (reconstruction). It is for people who have a fresh, uncomplicated ACL tear and want to see which approach works better.
This study is testing a new way to drill bone tunnels during ACL reconstruction surgery. The goal is to improve how well the new ligament holds and to help you recover better.
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.
