A second look inside the knee after surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma 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.

This study tests a new surgical technique that uses a donor (allograft) bone-patellar tendon-bone graft to fix a torn ACL and also replaces the missing or damaged meniscus. It may help people whose knee problems haven't improved with other treatments and who are otherwise healthy enough for surgery.
This trial studies the costs of a common knee surgery for a torn meniscus. It may help if you need surgery to remove part of the meniscus and are otherwise healthy.
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 compares two ways of performing ACL (knee ligament) reconstruction surgery: one using a newer, smaller camera system and one using standard equipment. Both are considered acceptable treatments; researchers want to see if the newer technology improves healing and patient outcomes.
This trial compares different treatments for knee osteoarthritis caused by a tear where the medial meniscus (the inner cushion of your knee) attaches to the bone. It aims to find the best approach to relieve pain and improve function in people with early to moderate arthritis.
This study tests a new, non-invasive device used during knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus. It may help your surgeon perform the procedure more safely and effectively.
