3D MRI hip study for ACL tear patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study uses a special 3D MRI to look at the hip joint in people who have torn their ACL. The goal is to see if a hip shape problem called femoroacetabular impingement (pinching in the hip) is linked to ACL tears.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a complete tear of your anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) – this is a common knee injury
- You do not have any other torn knee ligaments
- You have not broken your hip or had hip surgery
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding and have no metal in your body that would prevent an MRI

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests whether injecting a concentrated sample of your own bone marrow during hip arthroscopy improves recovery for people with femoroacetabular impingement (a hip condition where bones rub). It compares outcomes to standard care alone.
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 study looks at how the knee moves during surgery to fix a torn ACL. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery after ACL and LAL reconstruction.
This study tests two surgical techniques—minced cartilage implantation versus microfracture—to repair damaged hip socket cartilage caused by a common hip shape problem (FAI). The goal is to find which method better relieves pain and restores function.
This study tests whether using 3D-printed models from scans can help plan hip preservation surgery for people with a specific hip shape problem (cam-type femoroacetabular impingement). It may help surgeons plan more precisely, though you would only be eligible if your hip damage and other health factors fit specific limits.
