Robot-assisted surgery for knee ligament bone breaks
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a robot to help perform surgery on a specific type of knee fracture (where the ligament pulls off a piece of bone) leads to better recovery. The surgery is done soon after injury, and the robot may help the surgeon place the bone fragment more precisely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Your injury must be a recent (within 3 weeks) closed break at the top of the shin bone where a key knee ligament attaches.
- You must not have any other broken bones in the same leg.
- You must not have had surgery on that same knee before.
- Your injury must not have caused serious nerve or blood vessel damage, and the skin around the knee must be intact (not an open fracture).

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 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 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 a long-term knee strengthening program using a special machine that exercises your leg muscles at a steady speed. It aims to help you recover more fully after knee surgery.
