Comparing two ACL reconstruction surgery methods
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of doing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery: using a tourniquet to control bleeding, or using a special sheath that allows fluid to flow in and out. The goal is to see which method works better during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- This is your first ACL reconstruction surgery (not a repeat or revision).
- You are having only the ACL repaired, not other knee ligaments at the same time.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners that would affect surgery.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant soon.
- You agree to join the study and sign a consent form.

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 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 compares two ways to treat a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) near the top of the knee. It looks at whether having surgery is better than a non-surgical approach with physical therapy. You may be eligible if your tear is recent and you have no other knee injuries.
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 trial compares two types of grafts to rebuild the ACL in the knee, to see if one leads to better results. It is for active athletes with a recent ACL tear and healthy knees.
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.
