Ankle recovery after ACL surgery using a leg tendon graft
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the ankle recovers after using a piece of a leg tendon (peroneus longus) to rebuild the ACL in the knee. It aims to see if patients regain full ankle strength and function after this type of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old.
- You have a first-time ACL tear in one knee, confirmed by a doctor and an MRI scan.
- Your ACL surgery used part of a tendon from the outside of your lower leg (peroneus longus tendon) as the new ligament.
- You can come to check-ups at 6-8 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery.
- You are willing to sign a form saying you agree to take part in the study.
- You do not have other knee ligament injuries, prior surgery on that knee or ankle, or serious ankle problems.

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 is looking at how well the ACL heals after surgery in the long term. It helps researchers understand recovery patterns, so you may get a closer look at your knee's healing process.
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.
This study compares two ways to rebuild the ACL using different tendon grafts (quadriceps tendon vs patellar tendon) taken from your own body. It aims to learn which option leads to better recovery after ACL reconstruction, including strength and function.
