Magnesium wire for ACL repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special magnesium wire can help heal a new ACL graft better during first-time ACL surgery. It’s for people with an isolated ACL tear who are otherwise healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old.
- You have a torn ACL in one knee, and it's your first ACL surgery on that knee.
- Only your ACL is torn – no other knee ligaments are injured.
- You do not have signs of arthritis on a knee X-ray.
- You are not taking long-term steroid medications.
- You are willing to follow the rehab program after surgery.

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 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 trial studies whether adding mesenchymal stem cells during ACL (knee ligament) reconstruction helps the knee heal better. You might be eligible if your ACL injury is recent and you’re having a specific type of graft surgery.
This trial studies using a magnesium pin during keyhole surgery to fix a torn rotator cuff. It may help your shoulder heal better.
This trial tests biodegradable magnesium screws for fixing unstable ankle fractures. These screws naturally dissolve over time, so you wouldn't need a second surgery for hardware removal.
This trial tests a new MRI technique called Magic Angle Direction Imaging (MADI) to see if it can give better images of the knee before ligament repair surgery. It may help doctors plan your surgery more accurately.
