Evaluating ACL injury and re-rupture rates after surgery

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 observational study aims to assess the epidemiology and re-rupture rates of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in patients who underwent ACL reconstruction surgery between 2020 and 2030. It will collect data both retrospectively and prospectively, focusing on clinical and radiographic outcomes. The primary outcome is the rate of ACL re-rupture, measured using the Lachmann test, while secondary objectives include identifying predisposing anatomical and demographic factors, as well as evaluating the rate of return to sports and quality of life post-surgery.
