Augmented Reality guidance for ACL knee surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using augmented reality (special computer graphics overlaid on surgical video) during ACL reconstruction surgery helps surgeons perform the procedure more accurately. You would undergo standard knee surgery, but the surgeon would have real-time computer guidance to assist with precision.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You need primary ACL reconstruction surgery (first-time ACL repair, not a repeat surgery)
- You are scheduled for surgery at IRCCS Galeazzi-Sant'Ambrogio hospital in Italy
- You are willing to sign informed consent and participate in the study
- You do not have a history of prior ACL reconstruction on the same knee

This study compares how well people recover after two different types of ACL surgery: reconstruction (using a graft) and primary repair (stitching the torn ligament). It will help doctors understand which approach leads to better knee function long-term. Participants must be between 18 and 40, had their ACL surgery at Gazi University, and be at least one year past surgery.
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 an augmented reality navigation tool to help surgeons during total knee replacement for certain types of knee arthritis. It may help improve how accurately the knee components are placed.
This study tests whether using a robot to help place the tunnel during ACL (knee ligament) reconstruction is better or more accurate than the usual approach. You may benefit if you need ACL surgery and your care team has robot experience.
This trial is for people getting ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) surgery. It tests if tracking your recovery through questionnaires on a phone or tablet helps improve outcomes.
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.
