Robotic assistance for ACL reconstruction surgery
Robotic Assistance for Tunnel Positioning in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
This study tests if using a robot to help position grafts during ACL surgery can make the procedure more accurate for people with ACL injuries.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates a robotic-assisted technique for accurately positioning graft tunnels during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. It aims to improve the precision of tibial and femoral tunnel placements using the Rosa robot. A total of 30 patients with ACL injuries will be included, and the effectiveness of this robotic approach will be assessed. The surgeries will utilize either hamstring tendon or patellar tendon grafts.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are children and adults aged 10 to 45 years with ACL ruptures requiring surgical intervention.
Not a fit: Patients who are managed with alternative ACL reconstruction techniques or those who are pregnant or nursing may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance surgical outcomes and recovery for patients undergoing ACL reconstruction.
How similar studies have performed: While robotic assistance in surgery is gaining traction, this specific approach for ACL reconstruction is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
