MENISCUS TEAR

This trial investigates whether montelukast, a common asthma medication, can reduce inflammation and prevent cartilage breakdown after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The study enrolls adults aged 25 to 50 who also have a meniscus tear, a group at high risk for r…

This study tests an injectable drug called AM3101 to see if it can improve healing of meniscus tears in the knee after surgical repair. About 74 people aged 18 to 40 with a torn meniscus will be randomly assigned to receive either AM3101 or a saline placebo during surgery. The tr…

This study compares standard meniscal repair surgery with and without the BEAR implant, a collagen-based scaffold that may help the torn meniscus heal better. Researchers will track knee function, pain, and repair failure in 80 participants over time. The goal is to see if adding…

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 tests a new type of MRI scanner called Magic Angle Directional Imaging (MADI) that can move around the patient to get clearer images of ligaments and tendons. Researchers will scan 20 adults scheduled for ACL repair surgery to see if MADI can diagnose tears more accura…

This study tests whether progressive resistance exercises or aerobic exercises better improve knee cartilage and physical function in people aged 35-55 with degenerative meniscus tears. 45 participants will be split into three groups: resistance training, aerobic training, or sta…
