ACL INJURY

This study is testing if injecting a concentrated form of a patient's own bone marrow during a second ACL knee surgery can help control pain and prevent long-term arthritis. Researchers will compare patients who receive the injection to those who get a placebo procedure. They wil…

This is a small, early-stage study to see if a special treadmill training method can help people load their knee better after ACL surgery. The goal is to prevent the knee from being underused, which can lead to re-injury and arthritis later in life. Nine participants will try dif…

This study is evaluating a surgical technique called ACL augmentation for people with partial tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. It will follow 30 patients aged 15-50 to see how well they recover after surgery. The main goal is to measure improvement in kn…

This study is testing whether a rehabilitation program without surgery can be an effective treatment for a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in the knee. It will involve 400 participants who have chosen rehab as their initial treatment. Researchers will track patients' pain, …

This study is testing a special treadmill training method to improve how people walk and load their knee after ACL reconstruction surgery. Researchers want to see if walking on a treadmill with belts moving at different speeds can help retrain proper knee movement patterns. The s…

This study is testing a wearable sensor that measures oxygen levels in muscles. Researchers want to see if the data from this sensor can help them better understand how high school and college athletes recover from knee or hip surgery. The goal is to find better ways to decide wh…

This study uses brain scans (fMRI) to see if a special training program after ACL knee surgery changes how the brain controls movement. Researchers will scan 12 young adults before and after the training to look for brain changes linked to safer movement patterns. The goal is to …

This study aims to understand why some athletes get ACL and other sports injuries by tracking 5,000 healthy athletes for one year. Researchers will measure athletes' movement patterns and strength during preseason screenings, then follow up to see who gets injured. The goal is to…

This study aims to understand if people with a torn ACL (a major knee ligament) have weakness in their soleus, a key calf muscle. Researchers will measure the strength of this muscle in about 55 participants with ACL tears and compare it to healthy individuals. The goal is to see…

This study aims to understand what leads to better long-term results after ACL (knee ligament) reconstruction surgery. It will follow 1,000 patients for up to 5 years after their operation, checking in on their pain, knee stability, and ability to return to sports and work. The g…
