Readiness and knee function after ACL surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are male and between 18 and 35 years old.

- Your surgery was 6 to 12 months ago, and you have completed at least 6 months of rehab.
- Your knee feels stable, has no swelling, moves fully, and you can safely do all the tests.
