ACL reconstruction with or without Lemaire procedure
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical techniques for repairing a torn ACL: standard ACL reconstruction alone versus ACL reconstruction plus a Lemaire procedure (an extra side-stabilizing repair). It aims to see which approach provides better knee stability for active patients over at least 2 years.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old
- You have ongoing knee instability due to a torn ACL
- You play pivoting sports (like soccer, basketball, skiing) or have rotational knee looseness
- You are not pregnant
- You are not under legal guardianship or in psychiatric care

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 compares different graft types used to rebuild the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee after a complete tear. It aims to find which graft gives the best long-term outcomes for active women who play pivoting sports.
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.
This study looks at how the knee moves during surgery to rebuild the ACL (a ligament in the knee) and another ligament called the LAL. It aims to help doctors understand knee motion better, which could improve surgical techniques.
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 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.
