ACL surgery showdown: does leaving muscle on the graft help it heal better?
NCT ID NCT07404046
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether keeping some muscle fibers on the tendon used to repair a torn ACL helps the graft heal and remodel inside the knee. About 40 patients will be randomly assigned to get either a standard tendon graft or a muscle-tendon graft. Researchers will use MRI scans at 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery to compare how well the graft integrates with the bone and matures.
