This study compares how well people do after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery, with or without also repairing the meniscus, using a special fabric product. It aims to see if the fabric helps improve recovery and outcomes for people with these common knee injuries.
This trial tests a personalized digital training program for people who recently had ACL knee surgery. The goal is to see if correcting movement patterns can lower inflammation and prevent early knee arthritis.
This trial tests if injecting platelet-rich plasma (a concentration of your own blood platelets) after ACL reconstruction helps with healing and reduces pain. It's for people who recently had ACL surgery and want to try an extra treatment to improve recovery.
This early trial tests whether montelukast, a tablet used for allergies, can help protect knee cartilage after ACL surgery. It is specifically for people who have a meniscus injury along with their ACL tear.
This study tests whether adding a concentrated bone marrow injection during repeat ACL surgery helps healing and recovery better than surgery alone. If you have had a previous ACL reconstruction that failed, you may be eligible.
This trial tests whether alendronate, a drug commonly used for bone health, can improve knee function and recovery after ACL surgery. It is for people having their first ACL repair.
