KNEE INJURIES

This study tests whether a 6-week gait retraining program using real-time feedback can improve walking patterns and reduce early signs of knee osteoarthritis in people who have had ACL reconstruction. Seventy participants will be randomly assigned to receive either real-time biof…

This study looks at a new surgical method for treating meniscal root tears, which can lead to knee arthritis if not fixed. The surgery stitches the torn meniscus root to a knee ligament without needing special planning before the operation. About 59 people aged 18 to 50 who have …

This study compares two ways to repair a common type of meniscus tear in the knee. One group gets standard stitches, the other gets stitches plus a fibrin clot made from the patient's own blood to help healing. The trial will enroll 120 people aged 18-50 and check if the meniscus…

This study compares opioid (Norco) and non-opioid (ibuprofen and acetaminophen) pain medications in 148 adults undergoing knee arthroscopy. Participants take one tablet up to four times daily for seven days after surgery. The goal is to see if non-opioids provide similar pain rel…

This study compares a new tensioner device to standard surgical techniques for knee replacement. The goal is to see if the tensioner helps surgeons better balance the ligaments, leading to a more stable knee and less pain. Two hundred patients will be randomly assigned to receive…

This study is testing whether a device that sends gentle magnetic pulses (PEMF therapy) can help reduce pain after shoulder or knee surgery. About 76 adults having these surgeries will use the device or a fake one for 10 days after their operation. Researchers will measure pain l…

This study looks at whether adding blood flow restriction training (BFRT) to standard physical therapy helps teens recover strength and muscle size after ACL reconstruction. Forty teens who played sports before surgery will be randomly assigned to either standard rehab or standar…

This study aims to adapt the Tegner Activity Score, a common tool for measuring physical activity levels, into Turkish for patients with knee injuries. Researchers will enroll 69 adults undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. They will check if the Tur…

This study follows 69 adults undergoing surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Researchers want to find out what counts as a meaningful improvement in knee function using a standard scoring tool (the Lysholm Knee Score). They will also look for factors that might pr…

This study examines the link between psychological readiness, knee function, and muscle strength in athletes who had ACL reconstruction surgery. Researchers will measure mental readiness using a special scale and test knee strength with a machine. The goal is to understand why so…

This study follows 43 people who had surgery for a specific type of knee ligament injury called a Stener-like MCL tear. The goal is to measure how well the knee heals and how soon patients can return to sports. Researchers will use standard tests like the Lysholm Knee Score and K…
