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 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 trial uses registry data to compare outcomes of two common graft types (quadriceps tendon vs semitendinosus tendon) for ACL reconstruction. It may help patients understand which graft type leads to better recovery.
This study looks at how well the ankle recovers after using a piece of a leg tendon (peroneus longus) to rebuild the ACL in the knee. It aims to see if patients regain full ankle strength and function after this type of surgery.
This trial compares two different ways to repair a torn ACL (with an extra stabilizing procedure) to see which works better. It is for people with an isolated ACL tear who haven't had knee surgery before and are between 18 and 50 years old.
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.
