Comparing two tendon grafts for ACL surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You do not have severe arthritis, active infection, or nerve/muscle disorders in your legs.
- You are willing to follow rehab and come back for checkups after surgery.

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 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 trial compares two ways to rebuild a torn ACL using either a piece of your quadriceps tendon (with a small bone piece) or a piece of your patellar tendon (with bone). The goal is to find which graft works best for long-term stability and recovery.
This study examines how well the ankle and lower leg recover after ACL reconstruction when the graft is taken from the peroneus longus tendon. By participating, you help doctors learn how this procedure affects ankle strength and function, which may improve future care.
This study compares two ways of tightening the new ligament during ACL knee surgery. You will be placed in one of two groups: one where the ligament is fixed with your knee straight (0°) and one where it is slightly bent (30°). The goal is to see which method gives better results for your recovery and knee stability.
This study tests a new, lab-grown ligament made from biological tissue for ACL reconstruction. It may offer a regenerative option for people with a recent ACL tear who need surgery.
