Knee ligament surgery study for ACL tears with extra rotation
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two surgery techniques for ACL tears where the knee also twists too much inward. It aims to find which method leads to better long-term knee stability.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a first-time ACL tear in one knee.
- You have had an MRI at the study hospital showing extra inward twisting of the shin bone (more than 5.8 mm).
- You have not had any prior knee surgery.
- You have not injured other major knee ligaments (like MCL, LCL, or PCL) or had a dislocated kneecap.

This study looks at whether doing physical therapy before surgery can improve tendon healing, bone density, and joint cushioning after ACL surgery or patellar dislocation surgery. It may help you recover better and faster by optimizing your knee before the operation.
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 study compares two angles (0° vs 30°) of knee bend when fixing a graft during ACL and ALL surgery. It aims to see if the angle affects recovery and knee stability.
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.
This study tests a new, lab-grown ligament made from biological tissue for ACL reconstruction. It may offer a regenerative option for people with a recent ACL tear who need surgery.
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.
