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 types of surgery to repair a large Achilles tendon gap. One method moves a nearby tendon to help, the other adds extra support from the calf muscle.
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 whether adding a collagen scaffold during surgery to repair a damaged ankle ligament gives better results than surgery alone. It is for people with long-term ankle instability who have poor ligament quality or have had a prior failed repair.
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 repair damaged cartilage in the elbow. It might help people with a specific size of cartilage injury who haven't improved with other treatments.
