A second look inside the knee after surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks inside your knee again after a previous surgery, using a very small camera to see how your knee has healed. It could help doctors learn more about how well these knee repairs work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have had or will have knee arthroscopy (a keyhole surgery) for a meniscus repair, a biologic cartilage procedure, or another similar knee repair.
- You are willing to have a second, smaller procedure after your surgery to look inside your knee again with a very tiny camera (called nanoscopic arthroscopy).
- You are not pregnant.
- You are not a prisoner.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares a smaller, needle-sized camera (needle arthroscopy) with the standard larger camera (conventional arthroscopy) to treat certain knee issues like meniscus tears, cartilage damage, loose fragments, and other conditions. It aims to see if the smaller scope is as effective and may offer benefits like less pain or faster recovery.
This trial tests a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged meniscus (the knee's cushion) while also repairing the ACL (a key ligament), using a tendon graft to stabilize the knee. It is designed for people whose knee problems have not gotten better with therapy or pain relievers.
This study compares two different tools used during ACL repair surgery—one is a new, smaller scope—to see if the smaller one helps you recover faster or feel better after surgery. If you have a torn ACL and need surgery, this trial could show whether a less invasive approach works as well or better.
This study compares two different ways of surgically repairing a torn meniscus (the cartilage in your knee) using a camera. It is for patients under 19 who have a fresh, complete tear from a single injury and haven't had knee surgery before.
This study measures how your knee moves during everyday activities before your knee arthroscopy. The goal is to better understand knee function and improve future treatments.
This study looks at different patterns of a specific type of meniscus tear in the inner part of the knee. It aims to understand these tears better, and it involves patients who are already having a knee arthroscopy procedure.
