Monitoring outcomes after ACL reconstruction 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 includes patients undergoing surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and aims to evaluate their clinical outcomes over time. Participants will be assessed preoperatively and at 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years post-surgery through clinical visits or telephone interviews. The study will utilize questionnaires to gauge functional symptoms and will objectively measure knee stability using an innovative device with inertial sensors. By analyzing various clinical scores and patient data, the study seeks to identify factors influencing recovery and optimize future treatment strategies.
