Return to sports after MCL knee surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tracks people who had surgery to reattach the medial collateral ligament (MCL) in the knee, alone or with other repairs. It measures how well and how safely they return to sports. If you had this surgery, you may help improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery to reattach the medial collateral ligament (MCL) to the shinbone (distal insertion). It's okay if you also had other knee repairs at the same time.
- You were between 12 and 65 years old when you had the surgery.
- Your surgery happened sometime between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2027.
- You had an MRI, X-ray, or CT scan before surgery that confirmed the MCL injury.
- You agreed to join the study and we can contact you.
- You played a sport within the 2 years before your MCL surgery.

This trial tests a specific, step-by-step approach to how much weight you put on your healing knee after surgery for certain ligament injuries (like PCL and/or MCL, and some combined cases). It may help you heal safely and recover function without putting too much strain on the repair.
This study compares two rehab plans: doing full weight bearing versus partial weight bearing during the first 6 weeks after fibular collateral ligament (FCL) reconstruction. It may help figure out which approach is safer and better for healing and recovery.
This study looks at how your mental readiness, knee function, and strength relate after ACL reconstruction using a specific type of tendon graft. It may help you understand if you're ready to return to sports.
This trial checks how loose the knee feels during surgery for ACL reconstruction, ACL revision, or meniscus transplantation. The goal is to better assess knee stability during the operation, which may help surgeons choose the best repair.
This study follows people who have had or will have ACL reconstruction surgery at this hospital. It helps doctors learn more about how patients recover after ACL surgery over the long term.
This study looks at how well meniscus repairs (using the all-inside technique) work over time, both when done alone and when combined with ligament reconstruction. It may help you understand the success of this surgery for your knee.
