Comparing two graft types for ACL knee surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two types of grafts (tissue used to rebuild the ligament) for ACL surgery: one from the kneecap tendon and one from the thigh muscle tendon. The goal is to see if one causes less pain in the front of the knee than the other.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tear and are scheduled to have surgery to rebuild it for the first time.
- You have not had any previous surgery on the same knee.
- You have not had a past fracture or kneecap problems in that knee.
- You do not have chronic or widespread pain, or mental health conditions that might make it hard to complete the study.
- You are willing to attend follow-up visits and have MRI scans as part of the study.

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 trial compares two ways to rebuild a torn ACL using either a piece of your quadriceps tendon (with a small bone piece) or a piece of your patellar tendon (with bone). The goal is to find which graft works best for long-term stability and recovery.
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.
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.
