First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding a patient's own bone marrow stem cells during ACL surgery helps the new ligament heal better. About 100 people with recent ACL tears will get either standard surgery or surgery plus stem cells. The main goal is to see if the graft looks more healed on MRI scans, and also to check knee function and patient-reported outcomes.
