NCT ID NCT06996145
First seen Mar 28, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tested whether the center of the ACL's natural attachment points keeps the ligament the same length as the knee bends. Thirty healthy volunteers had 4D scans to measure changes in distance between these points. The goal was to see if current surgical methods need improvement, and to help develop software for more precise ACL reconstruction.
