NCT ID NCT06798623

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early study tests whether a single injection of a patient's own stem cells, taken from the fat pad inside the knee during ACL surgery, can safely improve healing and knee function. Fifteen adults having ACL reconstruction will receive the injection and be followed for side effects, pain, and knee movement. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and might lead to better recovery.
