Bio glue for fixing knee meniscus tears
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a medical bio glue to repair a torn meniscus in the knee. It may be a good option if you have a single tear and are otherwise healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have a tear in the meniscus (cushion) of one knee only.
- You can move your knee through its full range of motion.
- Your weight is within a healthy range (BMI below 32).
- You have no other knee conditions (like bad cartilage damage or multiple torn ligaments).
- You are not pregnant or planning pregnancy during the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This trial tests a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged meniscus (the knee's cushion) while also repairing the ACL (a key ligament), using a tendon graft to stabilize the knee. It is designed for people whose knee problems have not gotten better with therapy or pain relievers.
This study tests whether adding platelet-rich plasma (a concentration of your own blood cells that may help healing) to standard meniscus repair surgery improves recovery in people with a torn knee meniscus. It may help you heal better and return to activity sooner.
This trial tests a new surgical approach for a specific type of meniscus tear (the cartilage that cushions the knee) in people who have a mild bow-legged (varus) knee. It combines a small bone cut near the knee with arthroscopic repair to fix the tear.
This study tests whether adding a “marrow venting” step during arthroscopic surgery can improve healing of stitched meniscus tears. It may help people whose meniscus tears are repairable with sutures, but eligibility is limited by tear type and overall health.
