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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 common types of tendon grafts used in ACL reconstruction surgery to see which one works better for patients. If you had one of these grafts, your information may help doctors learn which option leads to better knee function and quality of life.
This study compares two ways to rebuild a torn ACL: using a piece of your own tendon (autograft) versus a donated tendon (allograft), combined with an extra procedure to add more stability to the outside of the knee. The goal is to see which approach gives better results for first-time ACL repairs.
This study compares two types of grafts (tissue used to rebuild the ligament) for ACL surgery: one from the kneecap tendon and one from the thigh muscle tendon. The goal is to see if one causes less pain in the front of the knee than the other.
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.
