Testing knee stability during ACL surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in your knee.
- You are between 16 and 65 years old.
- You do not have other major knee ligament injuries.
- You do not have a fracture that goes into the knee joint.

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 study looks at where the bone tunnel is placed during ACL reconstruction surgery and whether that placement affects how well the knee heals and functions after surgery. It could help doctors improve surgery techniques for better recovery.
This trial compares two ways of doing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery: using a tourniquet to control bleeding, or using a special sheath that allows fluid to flow in and out. The goal is to see which method works better during surgery.
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 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.
This study looks at how the knee muscles (front and back of the thigh) work after ACL surgery. It compares the operated leg to the healthy leg to see if there is a difference, especially in people who have a condition called arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI), where the muscles don't fully activate after surgery.
