Bone-patellar tendon–bone graft versus patellar tendon graft for ACL reconstruction
This randomized comparison tests whether a patellar tendon graft without the patellar bone plug reduces donor-site problems and gives similar knee function to the standard bone–patellar tendon–bone graft in athletes undergoing ACL reconstruction.
-
Phone app vs supervised preoperative exercise for ACL reconstruction
This trial tests whether a mobile app-guided preoperative exercise plan works as well as in-person therapy or no specific plan for people awaiting ACL reconstruction.
-
Absorbable oxandrolone implant to help recovery after ACL reconstruction
This test will see if a bioabsorbable oxandrolone pellet placed under the skin helps men and women recover muscle mass, strength, and knee function after ACL reconstruction.
-
Mindfulness intervention for recovery after ACL reconstruction
This study tests if mindfulness practices can help people recovering from ACL surgery feel less pain and anxiety while getting back to sports.
-
Evaluating Medacta Anatomic Ribbon Surgery for ACL Reconstruction
This study is testing how well a new surgery technique for ACL reconstruction works and how it affects patients' recovery and quality of life over two years.
