MADI ACL study: a new MRI method for ligament repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new MRI technique called Magic Angle Direction Imaging (MADI) to see if it can give better images of the knee before ligament repair surgery. It may help doctors plan your surgery more accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have been chosen to have ligament repair surgery on your knee
- You are able to have an MRI (no metal implants or other reasons that would make it unsafe)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 28 or less, or your thigh is less than 47 cm around at a spot about 7.5 cm above your knee joint
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You do not have severe pain, a recent surgery on the same knee, or any condition that would make lying still for an MRI difficult

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a surgical technique to fix a certain type of meniscus tear (called a root tear) by stitching it to the knee's posterior cruciate ligament. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients recover better.
This study uses computer models and MRI scans to predict how knee cartilage and pain may change over time in people with early osteoarthritis or a recent ACL tear. It aims to find better ways to manage these conditions and prevent long-term damage.
This trial tests a faster MRI scan method to measure healing in the knee after an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tear and reconstruction. It may help researchers compare scan quality while participants go through standard rehab.
This trial is testing a new approach to care for people with a possible torn ACL (the ligament in your knee). It uses a special exam to measure knee looseness automatically, and the goal is to give you a faster path to the right treatment.
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.
This trial checks how loose the knee feels during surgery for ACL reconstruction, ACL revision, or meniscus transplantation. The goal is to better assess knee stability during the operation, which may help surgeons choose the best repair.
