MRI to Evaluate ACL Graft Healing
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to check how well the new ACL graft (a piece of your own patellar tendon) heals after surgery. The goal is to see if the special treatment used with the graft helps it mature better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a first-time ACL tear and surgery within the past 12 months.
- Your ACL surgery used a Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone (BTB) graft taken from your own knee.
- No other knee ligaments needed repair at the time of your ACL surgery.
- You are able to have an MRI scan and have no allergies to the treatment.
- You are not pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant during the study.

This study looks at how well a special tissue support called BioBrace® works when used during ACL reconstruction surgery. It follows patients who have already had the surgery or are planning to have it, to see how their knee recovers over time.
This trial tests a faster MRI scan method to measure healing in the knee after an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tear and reconstruction. It may help researchers compare scan quality while participants go through standard rehab.
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 trial studies ACL (knee ligament) injuries and how the tibia (shin bone) shifts, using MRI scans taken before surgery. It may help doctors better understand knee instability and improve how ACL injuries are evaluated and treated.
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.
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.
