Study of a dissolvable implant for recovery after ACL surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a dissolvable implant that releases a medication called oxandrolone can improve recovery after ACL surgery. Oxandrolone may help strengthen the new ligament and speed up healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests pain management options after ACL reconstruction to reduce the need for strong painkillers. It may help you recover with fewer side effects and lower risk of opioid dependence.
This trial tests whether a protein supplement can help you recover strength and muscle after ACL surgery. You will continue your standard rehab and take a protein drink daily for several weeks.
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.
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 trial tests whether adding vibration treatments to standard physical therapy helps people regain muscle strength and function faster after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. The ACL is a key ligament in the knee that helps stabilize it.
This trial tests whether alendronate, a drug commonly used for bone health, can improve knee function and recovery after ACL surgery. It is for people having their first ACL repair.
