ACL surgery with bone marrow and internal brace for return to sports
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 14 and 26 years old.
- Your bones are fully grown (skeletally mature).
- This is your first ACL surgery.
- You are not pregnant or nursing.
- You have no active infection near the knee where surgery would happen.

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 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 study follows people who have had or will have ACL reconstruction surgery at this hospital. It helps doctors learn more about how patients recover after ACL surgery over the long term.
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 trial compares a new bracing treatment (Cross Bracing Protocol) versus standard surgery for people who have torn their ACL for the first time. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
