ACL surgery study pulled before starting
NCT ID NCT06289153
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to see if adding an internal brace during ACL reconstruction surgery helps the knee heal better. It planned to compare two groups of people having ACL surgery using a quadriceps tendon graft. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
