ACL repair using kneecap tendon with press-fit method
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at a specific ACL reconstruction technique using a graft from your kneecap tendon that is fixed with a press-fit method. It aims to determine how well patients recover after at least one year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an ACL tear and underwent the Kocabey press-fit technique using your kneecap tendon graft.
- It has been at least one year since your surgery.
- You have not needed a second surgery on the same knee.
- You have not had any significant injury to your operated knee since the surgery.
- You did not have a knee joint infection before or after the surgery.

This trial compares two different ways to repair a torn ACL (with an extra stabilizing procedure) to see which works better. It is for people with an isolated ACL tear who haven't had knee surgery before and are between 18 and 50 years old.
This trial compares two ways to rebuild a torn ACL using either a piece of your quadriceps tendon (with a small bone piece) or a piece of your patellar tendon (with bone). The goal is to find which graft works best for long-term stability and recovery.
This study compares two types of tendon grafts (from your kneecap tendon or from a tendon in your leg) for ACL reconstruction. The goal is to see which one works better for getting you back to normal activity.
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 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.
