Knee meniscus root tear repair using ligament suture
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You had an MRI before your surgery
- You have not had a previous meniscus removal or ligament injury before this surgery
- You do not have severe knee arthritis, significant knee misalignment, or severe obesity

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 study compares different treatments for a specific type of knee injury that can lead to arthritis. It aims to find the best way to manage the tear and help keep your knee working well.
This study looks at whether moving a torn inner knee cartilage back into place helps reduce the amount it sticks out. It is for people with a specific type of tear (Type 2) on MRI, whose cartilage has shifted by 3 to 6 millimeters.
This trial tests a donated human meniscus implant (Spongioflex®) for people who have lost part of the wedge-shaped cushion in their knee and have pain on that side. The goal is to replace the missing piece and relieve pain, helping you avoid or delay more serious surgery.
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 compares two ways to treat persistent knee pain after a partial meniscectomy using a tissue graft to replace the missing meniscus – either the patient's own hamstring tendon or a donor meniscus. It may help people whose knee pain continues months after their first surgery.
