KNEE INJURIES

This study compares two surgical techniques for knee replacement surgery. Researchers want to see if using a special tensioning device during surgery leads to better knee stability and less pain after the operation compared to the standard technique. The study will involve 200 pa…

This study is testing if adding blood flow restriction training (BFRT) to standard physical therapy helps teen athletes recover better from ACL knee surgery. BFRT involves using a cuff to briefly reduce blood flow to the leg during light exercises, which may help build muscle str…

This study is testing if adding a special fibrin clot, made from a patient's own bone marrow, can help knee cartilage (meniscus) tears heal better after surgery. It will compare this new method against the standard repair surgery in 120 adults with specific knee injuries. The mai…

This study is testing a specific surgical technique to repair a serious type of knee cartilage tear called a 'root tear.' The goal is to see if this surgery can help the meniscus heal properly and prevent the development of painful knee arthritis later on. Researchers will follow…

This study follows patients who had surgery for a specific knee ligament injury that doesn't heal on its own. Researchers will track 43 patients aged 12-65 to measure their recovery, pain levels, and ability to return to sports using standardized questionnaires and tests. The goa…

This study compares two approaches to managing pain after knee surgery: traditional opioid medications versus non-opioid alternatives. Researchers want to see if common non-opioid medications work as well as opioids for pain relief while potentially avoiding opioid risks. The stu…

This study is testing whether a device that uses pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) can help reduce pain after knee or shoulder surgery. Researchers will compare the device to a placebo in 76 patients to see if it lowers pain scores and the need for pain medication 10 days afte…

This study aims to check if a translated version of a knee activity questionnaire works well for Turkish patients. It will involve 69 adults scheduled for ACL knee surgery. The goal is to see if the translated questionnaire accurately measures their activity levels before and aft…

This study aims to better understand recovery after ACL knee surgery by defining what score changes on a knee function questionnaire are considered meaningful improvements. Researchers will follow 69 adults undergoing ACL reconstruction surgery to determine what score changes pat…

This study aims to understand how an athlete's mental readiness and physical knee strength work together to determine if they can safely return to sports after ACL reconstruction surgery. Researchers will observe 52 male recreational athletes 6-12 months after their surgery, comp…
