All recruiting trials (5)
-
Arthrocentesis with ACL Reconstruction for Acute ACL Tears
This trial tests whether draining the knee before and after ACL reconstruction helps reduce inflammation, prevent muscle loss, and speed recovery in people with a recent ACL tear.
-
Augmented Reality in ACL Surgery using AI to identify landmarks
A computer‑vision AI will try to reliably recognize anatomical landmarks during ACL reconstruction using the existing arthroscope without changing the procedure.
-
Preoperative cognitive-behavioral program to reduce fear of movement and improve function after an ACL tear
This project tests whether a short pre-surgery cognitive-behavioral program can reduce fear of movement and improve walking, jogging, and balance in adults 18–45 with a recent ACL tear scheduled for reconstruction.
-
ACL Tear: Reconstruction vs Primary Repair outcomes after surgery
This study tests how patients who had ACL reconstruction compare with those who had arthroscopic primary ACL repair in terms of strength, endurance, fatigue, knee stability, and function after surgery.
-
Adductor canal block versus no block for kids having ACL reconstruction
This will test whether a single-shot adductor canal nerve block during anesthesia helps kids and teens (ages 10–18) recover better after ACL reconstruction.
