Helping knee extension after first ACL reconstruction
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial is for people who have had a first-time ACL reconstruction using their own patellar tendon. It's testing a new way to help restore knee extension after surgery, which can improve your recovery and long-term knee function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your very first ACL surgery using a patellar tendon graft (BTB autograft).
- You are between 14 and 65 years old.
- Your original ACL tear was treated without surgery first.
- You have not had a previous ACL revision surgery.
- You do not have any major ligament reconstructions in the same knee as your ACL surgery.

This study looks at why some people still have trouble fully straightening their knee after ACL reconstruction. It compares people who have full extension to those who don't, to find out what might be limiting recovery. The goal is to help improve rehab after ACL surgery.
This trial tests whether doing special exercises before ACL surgery (called prehabilitation) helps you recover better after the operation. It's for people who have a first-time ACL tear and are scheduled for reconstruction surgery using a tendon from their own body.
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.
This trial tests whether adding mentally challenging exercises to physical therapy helps improve balance, joint awareness, and reaction time after ACL reconstruction. It may be a good fit if you are at least 8 weeks post-surgery, have completed initial rehab, and meet specific recovery milestones.
This study tests whether a specific exercise program can improve knee health in people who have had ACL surgery. It aims to understand how exercise affects the knee after injury and may help prevent arthritis.
This study compares two physical therapy methods—perturbation training (balance challenges) versus functional activity training—to help men recover better knee movement, balance, and strength after ACL reconstruction surgery. It aims to find which approach reduces pain and improves daily activities more effectively.
