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 study compares two ways of tightening the new ligament during ACL knee surgery. You will be placed in one of two groups: one where the ligament is fixed with your knee straight (0°) and one where it is slightly bent (30°). The goal is to see which method gives better results for your recovery and knee stability.
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 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 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.
This study tests whether using a robot to help perform surgery on a specific type of knee fracture (where the ligament pulls off a piece of bone) leads to better recovery. The surgery is done soon after injury, and the robot may help the surgeon place the bone fragment more precisely.
