Robot-Assisted Surgery for Knee Ligament Fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether using robotic assistance during surgery improves outcomes for a specific type of knee fracture where the ligament attachment to the shin bone breaks off. Robotic guidance may help surgeons place repair more precisely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have a recent fracture where a knee ligament pulls away from your shin bone, diagnosed within 3 weeks of injury
- Your fracture is classified as Type II or III on imaging (moderate to severe)
- You have no serious conditions that would make surgery unsafe
- You are willing to sign consent and commit to follow-up visits

This trial tests whether a robot can help doctors fix a broken thigh bone (femur) near the knee. It may lead to more precise surgery and potentially better recovery.
This trial tests whether a robot can help doctors fix a broken thigh bone (femur) more precisely than standard surgery. If you have a recent, closed thigh bone fracture, this study might help improve your recovery and alignment.
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 looks at whether doing physical therapy before surgery can improve tendon healing, bone density, and joint cushioning after ACL surgery or patellar dislocation surgery. It may help you recover better and faster by optimizing your knee before the operation.
This study tests whether using a robot to help fix a broken hip (specifically a type of fracture called intertrochanteric) leads to better recovery. The robot assists the surgeon in placing a metal nail inside the bone to hold it together while it heals.
This trial tests whether a robot-assisted surgery can help realign and fix a broken shin bone (tibia) near the ankle. It may be an option for people with a simple, closed fracture who were able to walk before the injury.
