Bridge-enhanced ACL repair for meniscus repair
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a special bridge implant to help heal a torn meniscus during surgery. It may help improve recovery and reduce the need for additional surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a meniscus tear that your doctor plans to repair with surgery alone.
- You are not having any other ligament, cartilage, or bone surgery at the same time.
- You do not have a specific type of meniscus tear called a 'bucket-handle' tear that requires repositioning.
- You do not have a blood-borne disease such as HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or syphilis.

This study looks at results after a particular surgery to repair a meniscus root tear in the knee. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and what outcomes to expect.
This trial tests whether adding a fibrin clot to standard meniscus repair helps heal a torn knee cartilage better. You'd get surgery, then an MRI one year later to check healing.
This trial tests a surgical technique to fix a certain type of meniscus tear (called a root tear) by stitching it to the knee's posterior cruciate ligament. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients recover better.
This early-phase study tests whether AM3101 can improve healing of a meniscus tear in the knee. Participants must meet age, scan, and health-lab requirements, and they will be closely followed during recovery to check safety and benefit.
This study looks at how well a special tissue support called BioBrace® works when used during ACL reconstruction surgery. It follows patients who have already had the surgery or are planning to have it, to see how their knee recovers over time.
This trial tests whether adding an internal brace (a strong suture tape) during ACL reconstruction with a BTB graft helps improve knee stability and recovery. It is for people ages 18 to 35 with a first-time ACL tear who are otherwise healthy.
