New study tests if a simple brace can speed up ACL recovery
NCT ID NCT05532189
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study looks at two ways to repair a torn ACL: standard surgery using a piece of the patient's own tendon, or the same surgery plus an extra internal brace to strengthen the repair. Researchers want to see if the brace helps people return to sports faster and reduces the chance of the knee giving way again. About 200 people aged 12 and older with a first-time ACL tear will take part and be followed for up to 10 years.
