Hip joint shape on MRI for people with ACL tears
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to compare the shape of the hip joint in people with an ACL tear versus those without. The goal is to see if certain hip conditions are more common in people with ACL tears, which may help future injury prevention and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a complete ACL tear (the ligament in your knee that connects the thigh and shin bones).
- Your ACL tear is the only major injury in your knee (no other ligaments are torn).
- You have not had any hip surgery or hip fracture in the past.
- You can safely undergo an MRI scan (no pacemaker, metal implants, or other contraindications).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial looks at how a CAM-type hip impingement (a bump on the ball of the hip joint) affects hip movement and stress. It compares men with and without symptoms to understand what causes pain and how to prevent future hip problems.
This trial looks at how well hip-preserving surgery works for people who need hip surgery. It may help your care team understand what outcomes to expect after this type of operation.
This study compares two ways to treat a torn labrum in the hip: one group gets standard hip arthroscopy (keyhole surgery), and the other gets the same surgery plus an injection of your own bone marrow cells to help healing. It aims to see if adding the injection improves pain and function.
This study compares hip positioning (acetabular angle) with pelvic tilt in people with femoro-acetabular impingement and in healthy volunteers. It may help researchers better understand hip mechanics and how they relate to symptoms and planning for arthroscopy surgery.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to repair damaged hip cartilage caused by a hip shape problem called femoro-acetabular impingement. Both aim to reduce pain and improve hip function.
This study looks at how the knee moves during surgery to rebuild the ACL (a ligament in the knee) and another ligament called the LAL. It aims to help doctors understand knee motion better, which could improve surgical techniques.
