Robot vs. standard ACL surgery comparison study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares robot-assisted ACL reconstruction to the traditional method, looking for better outcomes. If you have a fresh ACL tear and are scheduled for surgery soon, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- At least 16 years old
- First-time ACL tear confirmed by MRI and physical exam
- Surgery planned within 3 months of your injury
- Planning to use your own hamstring tendon for the graft

This study compares two ways of performing ACL (knee ligament) reconstruction surgery: one using a newer, smaller camera system and one using standard equipment. Both are considered acceptable treatments; researchers want to see if the newer technology improves healing and patient outcomes.
This study tests whether using a robot to help place the tunnel during ACL (knee ligament) reconstruction is better or more accurate than the usual approach. You may benefit if you need ACL surgery and your care team has robot experience.
This study tests whether using robotic assistance during surgery improves outcomes for a specific type of knee fracture where the ligament attachment to the shin bone breaks off. Robotic guidance may help surgeons place repair more precisely.
This trial compares three different arthroscopic surgery techniques to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. It aims to find out which method leads to the best recovery and long-term knee function.
This trial compares a robot-assisted knee replacement technique to the standard approach for people with severe knee arthritis. It aims to see which method leads to better recovery and outcomes.
This study compares robot-assisted knee replacement surgery to the standard procedure. Both groups will do a virtual home-based rehabilitation program. It aims to see if one approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
