Augmenting partial ACL tears: early outcomes

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

Patients with partial anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears who undergo ACL augmentation at Assiut University Hospital will receive clinical follow-up focused on knee function. Outcomes are measured mainly with the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, with follow-up visits to document recovery and any complications. The trial includes patients aged 15–50, with or without meniscal tear or knee deformity, and accepts recent and chronic injuries but excludes complete ACL tears and multiligament injuries. Early results will describe functional outcomes and safety signals after the augmentation procedure.
