ACL surgery repair vs. reconstruction recovery study
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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 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 two types of grafts (tissue used to rebuild the ligament) for ACL surgery: one from the kneecap tendon and one from the thigh muscle tendon. The goal is to see if one causes less pain in the front of the knee than the other.
This study compares how well the knee recovers its strength after ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction surgery using two different graft options. By tracking your progress over time, researchers hope to understand which graft type helps you regain the most strength.
This study compares two ways to repair a torn ACL: stitching it back together (repair) versus using a graft from another tendon (reconstruction). It is for people who have a fresh, uncomplicated ACL tear and want to see which approach works better.
This study compares three surgical methods for repairing a torn ACL, the main ligament that keeps your knee stable. It aims to find which technique gives the best recovery so you can return to activity.
This study looks at outcomes after surgery to repair the ACL (a knee ligament that helps stabilize the joint). If you’re having ACL reconstruction, the trial may help doctors understand what factors lead to better recovery.
