Measuring knee looseness in ACL tears
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study measures how much the knee moves after an ACL tear, using tests like the pivot shift. It helps doctors understand knee stability and guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have a confirmed ACL tear from an MRI or surgery
- You are able to understand and agree to the study
- You have not had major knee surgery on the injured knee
- You do not have other torn knee ligaments or active infections

This trial checks how loose the knee feels during surgery for ACL reconstruction, ACL revision, or meniscus transplantation. The goal is to better assess knee stability during the operation, which may help surgeons choose the best repair.
This study looks at how the knee moves during surgery to fix a torn ACL. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery after ACL and LAL reconstruction.
This trial is for people with a torn ACL who are young (up to 25) and have certain risk factors for knee instability. It will follow them long-term to see how their knee does without surgery, focusing on those who are active in pivoting sports, have a loose knee joint, or have naturally loose joints.
This trial is testing a new approach to care for people with a possible torn ACL (the ligament in your knee). It uses a special exam to measure knee looseness automatically, and the goal is to give you a faster path to the right treatment.
This study compares two surgery techniques for ACL tears where the knee also twists too much inward. It aims to find which method leads to better long-term knee stability.
This study looks at how ACL reconstruction knee surgery might affect the mechanics of your ankle joint. It aims to understand if the surgery changes how your ankle moves and works, which could help improve rehabilitation.
