Moving inner knee cartilage back into place for a root tear
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at whether moving a torn inner knee cartilage back into place helps reduce the amount it sticks out. It is for people with a specific type of tear (Type 2) on MRI, whose cartilage has shifted by 3 to 6 millimeters.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a specific type of meniscus tear (Type 2) in the inner knee cartilage, seen on MRI.
- The cartilage must be shifted out of place by at least 3 millimeters but less than 6 millimeters on MRI.
- You can give consent yourself and agree to follow the study plan.
- You cannot have severe arthritis (grade 3 or more) or significant knee misalignment.
- You cannot have had previous knee surgery on the same knee or other serious knee problems.

This trial looks at a treatment for a specific knee alignment and tissue problem inside the inner (medial) part of your knee. It may help people whose deep-squat knee pain is caused by rubbing (“impingement”) between the femur and the back part of the medial meniscus.
This study looks at results after a particular surgery to repair a meniscus root tear in the knee. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most and what outcomes to expect.
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 early-phase study tests whether AM3101 can improve healing of a meniscus tear in the knee. Participants must meet age, scan, and health-lab requirements, and they will be closely followed during recovery to check safety and benefit.
This study tests whether specific exercises can improve your knee cartilage health and daily function. It is for people with a meniscus tear who are at risk for knee arthritis but don't have arthritis yet.
This study evaluates how to best treat tears in the back of the meniscus (cartilage cushion in your knee). Researchers will examine different tear patterns during knee surgery to understand which treatment works best for your specific tear.
