Two ACL repair methods compared for better recovery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two different ways to repair a torn ACL (with an extra stabilizing procedure) to see which works better. It is for people with an isolated ACL tear who haven't had knee surgery before and are between 18 and 50 years old.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a tear of only the ACL (no other ligaments in the knee are torn).

- You have not had any surgery on this same knee before.
- You do not have any infection in your knee, now or in the past.
- You are willing to have MRI and CT scans one year after surgery.

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 compares two ways to repair a torn ACL: stitching it back together (repair) versus using a graft from another tendon (reconstruction). It is for people who have a fresh, uncomplicated ACL tear and want to see which approach works better.
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 trial compares two different techniques for ACL surgery (single bundle vs. double bundle) to see which one works better. If you're planning to have ACL surgery, you may be able to join.
This study looks at the best way to treat a fresh ACL (an important knee ligament) tear by comparing an “early surgery” plan that starts within 12 weeks. It may help guide care and recovery for people who are able to do both the surgery and the follow-up rehabilitation.
This study compares two types of tendon grafts (from your kneecap tendon or from a tendon in your leg) for ACL reconstruction. The goal is to see which one works better for getting you back to normal activity.
