Knee tunnel placement study for ACL repair outcomes
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have a torn ACL in one knee and are scheduled for your first ACL reconstruction.
- You can commit to at least 6 months of follow-up after surgery.
- You are willing to have imaging tests (CT, MRI, or X-ray) and complete knee function questionnaires during follow-up.
- You do not have other major knee ligament injuries or have had prior knee surgery (other than ACL).

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 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 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.
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 trial compares two techniques for ACL reconstruction—one uses an enriched, patient’s own bone during surgery and the other uses the standard approach. It may help researchers understand whether the enriched bone method improves knee healing and function.
This study is testing a new way to drill bone tunnels during ACL reconstruction surgery. The goal is to improve how well the new ligament holds and to help you recover better.
