Bone marrow treatment for ACL tears
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if bone marrow concentrate injected into the knee can help repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which is a common sports injury. It aims to improve healing and reduce the need for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed partial or complete ACL tear (diagnosed by a doctor and imaging).
- You must be between 20 and 55 years old.
- You must not have a bleeding disorder like hemophilia.
- You must not have a history of cancer.
- You must not be critically ill or have other major health problems.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study tests whether adding a concentrated bone marrow injection during repeat ACL surgery helps healing and recovery better than surgery alone. If you have had a previous ACL reconstruction that failed, you may be eligible.
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 study tests if a special concentrate made from your own bone marrow can help reduce pain from knee osteoarthritis. You may qualify if you have moderate to severe knee arthritis and haven't found relief from standard treatments.
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 tests if adding a bone marrow injection to standard knee arthroscopy helps your knee heal better. It is for people with a torn meniscus or damaged cartilage who have healthy knee joints without arthritis.
