Comparing two knee braces after ACL surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two different knee braces used after ACL surgery to see which one helps people recover better. If you are having your first ACL reconstruction, you may be able to join and help find out if one brace works better than the other.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for your first ACL surgery on this knee
- You have an ACL tear without other major ligament injuries (like PCL, MCL, or LCL)
- You do not have a worker's compensation claim for this injury
- You do not need a custom-sized brace

This study compares two different exercise programs to help people recover knee strength and function after ACL reconstruction surgery. One program uses steady machine-based exercises, while the other uses jumping and quick movements. The goal is to find which approach works better for getting you back to normal activities.
This study compares how well the knee recovers its strength after ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction surgery using two different graft options. By tracking your progress over time, researchers hope to understand which graft type helps you regain the most strength.
This study compares two different tools used during ACL repair surgery—one is a new, smaller scope—to see if the smaller one helps you recover faster or feel better after surgery. If you have a torn ACL and need surgery, this trial could show whether a less invasive approach works as well or better.
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 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 study compares how well people recover after two different types of ACL surgery: reconstruction (using a graft) and primary repair (stitching the torn ligament). It will help doctors understand which approach leads to better knee function long-term. Participants must be between 18 and 40, had their ACL surgery at Gazi University, and be at least one year past surgery.
