-
Quadriceps tendon vs peroneus longus tendon grafts for ACL reconstruction
This randomized trial tests whether using a quadriceps tendon autograft works as well as a peroneus longus tendon autograft for ACL reconstruction in adults, looking at knee function and donor-site effects.
-
Proprioceptive exercises to aid recovery after ACL surgery
This trial will see if adding proprioceptive exercises to standard balance training helps people aged 20–40 during the early rehab period after ACL surgery.
-
All-inside versus complete tibial tunnel ACL reconstruction using hamstring grafts
This trial will test whether the all-inside or the complete tibial tunnel surgical technique leads to better recovery in adults (18–65) having ACL reconstruction with hamstring grafts.
-
Cross bracing versus early ACL reconstruction for recent ACL rupture
This will try whether a 12-week cross bracing program plus supervised physiotherapy helps people aged 16–40 with a recent complete ACL tear more than early ACL reconstruction surgery.
-
Hockey slideboard training with blood flow restriction for ACL rehabilitation
This study is testing if combining hockey slideboard training with blood flow restriction can help people recover better and safer after ACL surgery.
-
Using a robotic system to improve ACL surgery precision
This study tests if using a robotic system during ACL surgery can make the surgery more accurate and improve recovery for patients.
-
Using intraosseous morphine to manage pain during ACL reconstruction
This study tests if giving morphine directly into the bone can help reduce pain and the need for other pain medications in young adults having ACL surgery.
-
Comparing two methods of ACL reconstruction
This study tests if adding a specific ligament repair during ACL surgery can help young people avoid re-injury better than the usual surgery.
-
Evaluating ACL revision surgery practices in France
This study looks at how ACL revision surgeries are done in France to see what works best and how patients are doing afterward.
-
ACL reconstruction using a human cortical bone (Shark Screw®) versus a biocomposite interference screw
This trial will test whether using a human cortical bone screw (Shark Screw®) instead of a biocomposite interference screw reduces tunnel widening and keeps re-rupture rates low for people having ACL reconstruction.
-
Evaluating return to play after ACL surgery with specific treatments
This study is testing how different treatments after ACL surgery affect young athletes' chances of getting back to their sport.
-
Preventing osteoarthritis after an ACL tear
This study is testing if a 6-month online education and exercise program can help young people who have had ACL surgery prevent osteoarthritis and improve their knee health.
-
Evaluating ACL injury and re-rupture rates after surgery
This study looks at how often people who had ACL surgery from 2020 to 2030 experience re-injury and how their recovery affects their ability to return to sports and quality of life.
-
ACL reconstruction using a new graft technique
This study tests a new way to fix ACL injuries using a special graft and technique to see if it helps patients recover faster and do better than traditional methods.
-
Pre-surgery exercise to improve tendon, bone, and cartilage recovery after ACL rupture or patellar dislocation
This program will try pre-surgery exercise rehab to see if it improves tendon healing, bone density, cartilage health, and walking in people aged 18–40 with an ACL tear or patellar dislocation.
-
Vibration therapy for knee pain after ACL surgery
This study is testing if whole body vibration therapy can help people aged 18 to 60 recover better from knee pain after ACL surgery.
-
Optimized rehabilitation program for ACL recovery before returning to sports
This study tests if a personalized rehab program with regular check-ins can help people recover better from ACL surgery and safely get back to sports.
-
Using Vitamin D to Boost Quadricep Strength After ACL Injury
This study is testing if taking Vitamin D3 can help young adults recovering from ACL surgery build stronger thigh muscles.
-
Follow-up on ACL reconstruction outcomes
This study looks at how well people recover after having surgery to fix their torn ACL, to see what works best for their healing and recovery.
-
Blood flow restriction training for adolescents after ACL surgery
This study is testing if blood flow restriction training can help teenagers recover better and get stronger after ACL surgery compared to regular rehab.
-
Comparing two types of grafts for knee ligament surgery
This study is testing which type of graft works better for knee ligament surgery in athletes who have injured their ACL.
