Fibrin clot repair for torn knee cartilage
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a painful tear in the knee cartilage (meniscus) that goes lengthwise
- You are between 18 and 50 years old
- You have not had surgery on the same knee before
- You cannot have other major knee ligament damage (like MCL or LCL tears)
- You must be willing to get an MRI one year after surgery
- You cannot have an active infection

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.
This early-phase study tests whether AM3101 can improve healing of a meniscus tear in the knee. Participants must meet age, scan, and health-lab requirements, and they will be closely followed during recovery to check safety and benefit.
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 tests whether specific exercises can improve your knee cartilage health and daily function. It is for people with a meniscus tear who are at risk for knee arthritis but don't have arthritis yet.
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 study tests a special bridge implant to help heal a torn meniscus during surgery. It may help improve recovery and reduce the need for additional surgeries.
