Comparing two tools for ACL repair surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two different tools used during ACL repair surgery—one is a new, smaller scope—to see if the smaller one helps you recover faster or feel better after surgery. If you have a torn ACL and need surgery, this trial could show whether a less invasive approach works as well or better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two ways to repair a torn ACL in the knee: one using a robot to help the surgeon, and the other using the traditional method. The goal is to see if robot-assisted surgery leads to better outcomes for patients.
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 is testing a new way to drill bone tunnels during ACL reconstruction surgery. The goal is to improve how well the new ligament holds and to help you recover better.
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 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.
This study compares two different knee braces used after ACL surgery to see which one helps people recover better. If you are having your first ACL reconstruction, you may be able to join and help find out if one brace works better than the other.
