Collagen scaffold for Achilles tendon repair
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a special collagen scaffold during surgery helps heal a torn Achilles tendon better than standard repair alone. The scaffold is made from cow collagen and is placed over the repair to support healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is testing a new way to repair a completely torn Achilles tendon. It uses MRI scans to make sure the repair is as good as possible, aiming for better healing and recovery.
This study compares two surgical techniques to repair large Achilles tendon defects (more than 4 cm). It is for people who have a large gap in their Achilles tendon, often from a rupture, tendinopathy, or after tumor removal. The goal is to see if adding a calf muscle reinforcement gives better results than a tendon transfer alone.
This trial compares two types of surgery for a fresh Achilles tendon tear: a keyhole procedure using a nearby tendon, versus a minimally invasive repair. It aims to find which approach leads to better recovery.
This trial tests a collagen-based medical device used along with physical therapy to see if it helps people with Achilles tendon pain heal and improve function. You may be a good candidate if your symptoms are recent and the tendon problem is confirmed by ultrasound.
This trial tests a collagen scaffold to help heal damaged cartilage in the elbow joint. If you have a small cartilage tear that hasn't healed with rest or medication, this surgery-based treatment might be an option.
This trial tests a special wrap (VersaWrap) used during surgery to repair a torn or damaged Achilles tendon. It may help the tendon heal better and could be an option for people who need this type of surgery.
