Knee surgery showdown: which ACL repair technique wins?
NCT ID NCT06341192
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two surgical methods for repairing a torn ACL, the main knee ligament. Forty adults who need ACL surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either a single-bundle or double-bundle reconstruction, both combined with an extra ligament repair. Researchers will track knee stability, function, and re-injury rates for one year after surgery to determine which technique works best.
