ACL surgery and ankle joint function study
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how ACL reconstruction knee surgery might affect the mechanics of your ankle joint. It aims to understand if the surgery changes how your ankle moves and works, which could help improve rehabilitation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 15 and 45 years old.
- You have a torn ACL in one knee, with no other knee ligaments damaged.
- You have not had surgery on your meniscus (knee cartilage).
- Both of your ankles were healthy before your knee surgery.
- You have no previous ankle injuries or instability, and no other knee problems like fractures or cartilage damage.

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 trial compares three different arthroscopic surgery techniques to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. It aims to find out which method leads to the best recovery and long-term knee function.
This study looks at how your mental readiness, knee function, and strength relate after ACL reconstruction using a specific type of tendon graft. It may help you understand if you're ready to return to sports.
This study compares how well people recover after two different types of ACL surgery: reconstruction (using a graft) and primary repair (stitching the torn ligament). It will help doctors understand which approach leads to better knee function long-term. Participants must be between 18 and 40, had their ACL surgery at Gazi University, and be at least one year past surgery.
This study looks at how the knee moves during surgery to fix a torn ACL. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery after ACL and LAL reconstruction.
This study looks at how a specific knee bone alignment issue seen on MRI relates to how well ACL surgery works afterward. It may help doctors better predict outcomes after ACL reconstruction.
