Bone Graft for Kneecap Defect in ACL Surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how a bone graft used to fill a gap in the kneecap affects healing and recovery after ACL reconstruction. Researchers want to see if the graft helps the bone heal better and improves your knee function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old.
- Your surgeon plans to use a piece of your own kneecap tendon and bone to rebuild your ACL.
- You are willing and able to follow all post-surgery instructions.
- You have not had a previous ACL reconstruction using the same type of graft.
- You do not use nicotine (smoking, vaping, or chewing tobacco).

This trial compares two ways to rebuild a torn ACL using either a piece of your quadriceps tendon (with a small bone piece) or a piece of your patellar tendon (with bone). The goal is to find which graft works best for long-term stability and recovery.
This trial compares two types of grafts to rebuild the ACL in the knee, to see if one leads to better results. It is for active athletes with a recent ACL tear and healthy knees.
This study tests a new surgical technique that uses a donor (allograft) bone-patellar tendon-bone graft to fix a torn ACL and also replaces the missing or damaged meniscus. It may help people whose knee problems haven't improved with other treatments and who are otherwise healthy enough for 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 looks at a specific ACL reconstruction technique using a graft from your kneecap tendon that is fixed with a press-fit method. It aims to determine how well patients recover after at least one year.
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.
