Measuring knee looseness in patients with a torn ACL
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study aims to measure how much the knee moves or shifts after an ACL tear using physical tests. It may help doctors better understand knee instability and improve treatments.
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 (by MRI or during surgery)
- You have not had major surgery on the affected knee before
- You do not have other knee ligament injuries, active infections, or joint inflammation
- You are not pregnant and do not plan to become pregnant during the study
- You are willing and able to give informed consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses an artificial intelligence tool to analyze videos of knee movement to measure how loose the knee is after an ACL tear. It aims to make measuring knee instability easier and more accurate for people with this common injury.
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 rebuild the ACL (a ligament in the knee) and another ligament called the LAL. It aims to help doctors understand knee motion better, which could improve surgical techniques.
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 looks at how the brain and muscles in the knee react after an ACL tear, which is a common knee ligament injury. The results may help doctors design better rehab for people with this injury.
This study checks whether using a tourniquet during ACL repair surgery affects how doctors measure knee stability. It may help improve how surgery is done and how recovery is evaluated.
