ACL reconstruction using a new graft technique

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using a periosteal-patellar tendon-bone autograft and a novel press-fit tibial fixation technique. The approach aims to provide a minimally invasive option that allows for faster rehabilitation without the use of screws or staples. The study will compare these outcomes with existing reconstruction techniques documented in the literature, focusing on the effectiveness and safety of this new method. Patients will be followed for at least one year to assess the long-term results of the surgery.
