First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at two different tendon grafts used to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. Researchers want to see if one type of tendon heals better and causes less change to the bone tunnels than the other. The study involves 58 people aged 18 to 45 who need ACL surgery. They will have MRI and CT scans after one year to check how the graft is healing and how the bone tunnels look.
