Ankle recovery after ACL surgery using a leg tendon graft
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study examines how well the ankle and lower leg recover after ACL reconstruction when the graft is taken from the peroneus longus tendon. By participating, you help doctors learn how this procedure affects ankle strength and function, which may improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old
- You have a torn ACL in one knee, confirmed by MRI
- Your ACL surgery used a graft from the peroneus longus tendon (a tendon on the outside of your lower leg)
- You can attend check-ups at 6–8 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery
- You have no other knee ligament injuries, previous knee or ankle surgeries, or serious foot/ankle problems

This study compares how well people recover after two different types of ACL surgery: reconstruction (using a graft) and primary repair (stitching the torn ligament). It will help doctors understand which approach leads to better knee function long-term. Participants must be between 18 and 40, had their ACL surgery at Gazi University, and be at least one year past surgery.
This study compares two types of tendon grafts (from your kneecap tendon or from a tendon in your leg) for ACL reconstruction. The goal is to see which one works better for getting you back to normal activity.
This trial compares two types of grafts to rebuild the ACL in the knee, to see if one leads to better results. It is for active athletes with a recent ACL tear and healthy knees.
This study compares two common types of tendon grafts used in ACL reconstruction surgery to see which one works better for patients. If you had one of these grafts, your information may help doctors learn which option leads to better knee function and quality of life.
This study compares how well the knee recovers its strength after ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction surgery using two different graft options. By tracking your progress over time, researchers hope to understand which graft type helps you regain the most strength.
This study looks at a specific ACL reconstruction technique using a graft from your kneecap tendon that is fixed with a press-fit method. It aims to determine how well patients recover after at least one year.
