ACL Surgery With New Nano Camera vs Standard Surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of performing ACL (knee ligament) reconstruction surgery: one using a newer, smaller camera system and one using standard equipment. Both are considered acceptable treatments; researchers want to see if the newer technology improves healing and patient outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares robot-assisted ACL reconstruction to the traditional method, looking for better outcomes. If you have a fresh ACL tear and are scheduled for surgery soon, you may be able to join.
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 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 trial tests a special computer navigation system to help surgeons place the new ACL graft more precisely during knee reconstruction. If you have a torn ACL and are between 18 and 80, this study might help improve your surgery outcomes.
This study compares two ways to repair a torn ACL: stitching it back together (repair) versus using a graft from another tendon (reconstruction). It is for people who have a fresh, uncomplicated ACL tear and want to see which approach works better.
This trial compares three different arthroscopic surgery techniques to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. It aims to find out which method leads to the best recovery and long-term knee function.
