Long-term results of a second ACL reconstruction using a tendon graft
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at people who had a second surgery to fix a torn ACL in their knee. The surgery used a special technique with a tendon from the Achilles. Researchers want to see how well the knee works and looks on X-rays at least 2 years after that surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You were between 18 and 50 years old when you had the surgery.
- You had a second surgery (revision) to fix your ACL.

- Your surgery was at least 2 years ago.
- You have an X-ray of your knee from around the time of surgery.
- You are willing to take part in the study.
- You do not have severe knee arthritis, severe obesity (BMI over 35), or conditions that keep you from standing fully on your leg.

This study compares how well a specific type of ACL knee surgery works in people over 50 versus those under 30. It looks at results and problems after surgery to see if the technique is safe and effective for older patients.
This trial compares two types of graft for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair in people aged 40 and older: one using the patient's own tendon and another using a donated tendon. The goal is to see which works better for older adults recovering from a first-time ACL injury.
This study follows people who have had or will have ACL reconstruction surgery at this hospital. It helps doctors learn more about how patients recover after ACL surgery over the long term.
This trial is for people with a torn ACL who are young (up to 25) and have certain risk factors for knee instability. It will follow them long-term to see how their knee does without surgery, focusing on those who are active in pivoting sports, have a loose knee joint, or have naturally loose joints.
This study looks at how well an ACL reconstruction works when it also includes a second procedure (LET) to give extra support to the knee. It may help people who need this specific type of surgery have better stability and movement afterward.
This study compares two types of tissue grafts (your own or a donor's) used in a second ACL knee surgery to see which leads to better outcomes and fewer failures over at least two years.
