Comparing two grafts for ACL reconstruction
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of grafts to rebuild the ACL in the knee, to see if one leads to better results. It is for active athletes with a recent ACL tear and healthy knees.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had your ACL injury less than 6 months ago.
- You are an active athlete (club or recreational level).
- Your patellar tendon (the tendon below your kneecap) is longer than 42 mm, as measured by MRI.
- You are between 12 and 40 years old.
- You have not had any past knee surgeries or ligament injuries, and no other major knee problems.

This study compares two types of tendon grafts (from your kneecap tendon or from a tendon in your leg) for ACL reconstruction. The goal is to see which one works better for getting you back to normal activity.
This study compares two common types of tendon grafts used in ACL reconstruction surgery to see which one works better for patients. If you had one of these grafts, your information may help doctors learn which option leads to better knee function and quality of life.
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 trial compares two ways to rebuild a torn ACL using either a piece of your quadriceps tendon (with a small bone piece) or a piece of your patellar tendon (with bone). The goal is to find which graft works best for long-term stability and recovery.
This study compares two ways to rebuild the ACL using different tendon grafts (quadriceps tendon vs patellar tendon) taken from your own body. It aims to learn which option leads to better recovery after ACL reconstruction, including strength and function.
This trial compares two types of grafts using the semitendinosus tendon for ACL reconstruction. It aims to see if adding a part of the tendon's muscle improves healing and stability after surgery.
