Silk dressing study for ACL reconstruction
Part of Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a new silk-based dressing applied during ACL surgery to see if it helps with healing. It is for people aged 14 to 60 who are scheduled for ACL reconstruction.

This trial compares two ways of doing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery: using a tourniquet to control bleeding, or using a special sheath that allows fluid to flow in and out. The goal is to see which method works better during surgery.
This study compares how well people recover after two different types of ACL surgery: reconstruction (using a graft) and primary repair (stitching the torn ligament). It will help doctors understand which approach leads to better knee function long-term. Participants must be between 18 and 40, had their ACL surgery at Gazi University, and be at least one year past surgery.
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 silk protein bandage for people having double-incision mastectomy as part of female-to-male gender affirmation surgery. The goal is to see if this special bandage helps wounds heal better.
This trial compares two techniques for ACL reconstruction—one uses an enriched, patient’s own bone during surgery and the other uses the standard approach. It may help researchers understand whether the enriched bone method improves knee healing and function.
This trial tests a new silk-based surgical mesh to help repair large rotator cuff tears. It's for people who have not gotten better with other treatments and need surgery.
