NCT ID NCT04847258
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a screening tool can identify people with an ACL injury who will eventually need surgery after 3 months of standard rehabilitation. Researchers will track 357 patients to see how many end up having ACL reconstruction (called 'non-copers'). The goal is to improve decision-making for treatment after an ACL tear.
What this could mean

Active substance
Standard rehabilitation
What this could lead to
If successful, this screening tool could help doctors and patients decide earlier whether surgery is needed after an ACL injury, potentially avoiding unnecessary procedures.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The screening tool may not be accurate enough to change clinical practice, and results may not apply to all patients.
