Summary

This study looks at whether a short video or a virtual class better prepares people for ACL surgery. Researchers want to see which method leads to higher satisfaction, less anxiety, and better understanding. About 105 patients will take part, and they will be randomly assigned to watch a 15-minute video or attend a 30-minute online class with a nurse.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: educational video and virtual classroom course
What this could lead to: If one method works better, hospitals could adopt it to help patients feel more prepared and less anxious before ACL surgery.
What could go wrong: This is a small, single-center study comparing two ways of giving information, not testing a new treatment. The results may not apply to all patients or hospitals.
