Partial knee replacement plus ACL repair study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a combination surgery: repairing the torn ACL at the same time as replacing only the damaged part of your knee. It's designed for active people with arthritis in one knee compartment and a fully torn ACL.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have arthritis in only one part of your knee and a complete tear of the ACL.
- You are active and have a high need to use your knee for sports or work.
- You have not had any other surgeries on the same knee before.
- You do not have other torn knee ligaments or conditions that affect your muscles or nerves.
- You have complete medical records and can come for follow-up visits for at least 12 months.

This study compares two implant types used for a partial knee replacement (only the inside/medial part) for people with “wear-and-tear” arthritis in that compartment. It looks to see which option leads to better outcomes after surgery and follow-up.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for ACL reconstruction. The standard method repairs the ACL inside the knee joint, while the new method also adds extra support outside the joint. The study aims to see which approach gives better stability and recovery for people with specific risk factors, like being a young athlete or having a chronic ACL tear.
This study follows people who have a knee ligament tear and undergo surgery to rebuild the ligament. It may help doctors better understand recovery and outcomes after different surgical techniques.
This trial tests a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged meniscus (the knee's cushion) while also repairing the ACL (a key ligament), using a tendon graft to stabilize the knee. It is designed for people whose knee problems have not gotten better with therapy or pain relievers.
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 study tests a new type of partial knee replacement where only the damaged bone and cartilage are replaced, instead of the whole knee. It aims to help people with severe knee arthritis keep an active lifestyle and delay or avoid a total knee replacement.
