Comparing graft options for repeat ACL surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two types of tissue grafts (your own or a donor's) used in a second ACL knee surgery to see which leads to better outcomes and fewer failures over at least two years.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You can commit to at least 2 years of follow-up after surgery.

This trial compares two types of graft for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair in people aged 40 and older: one using the patient's own tendon and another using a donated tendon. The goal is to see which works better for older adults recovering from a first-time ACL injury.
This study looks at people who had a second surgery to fix a torn ACL in their knee. The surgery used a special technique with a tendon from the Achilles. Researchers want to see how well the knee works and looks on X-rays at least 2 years after that 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 types of tendon grafts (from your kneecap tendon or from a tendon in your leg) for ACL reconstruction. The goal is to see which one works better for getting you back to normal activity.
This study compares how well the knee recovers its strength after ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction surgery using two different graft options. By tracking your progress over time, researchers hope to understand which graft type helps you regain the most strength.
This study compares two ways to rebuild the ACL using different tendon grafts (quadriceps tendon vs patellar tendon) taken from your own body. It aims to learn which option leads to better recovery after ACL reconstruction, including strength and function.
