Does age matter for healing a torn knee ligament?

NCT ID NCT03348995

Ongoing Disease control Sponsor: Miach Orthopaedics Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study is looking at whether a patient's age affects how well they recover from a new type of ACL repair surgery. The surgery, called BEAR, involves placing a special implant between the torn ends of the ligament and adding the patient's own blood to help it heal. Researchers will follow 250 patients for two years to see if older or younger patients have better knee function and fewer complications.
