NCT ID NCT07602231
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a set of enhanced recovery steps can allow people with a torn ACL to have surgery and go home the same day. The steps include special counseling, shorter fasting, targeted pain control, and early rehab. Researchers will measure recovery quality, knee function, and cost savings in 115 patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a set of pre- and post-surgery steps allows patients to go home the same day after ACL reconstruction, improving recovery and lowering costs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early study in one hospital in Vietnam, so results may not apply elsewhere. The protocol involves many steps, and not all patients may be suitable for same-day discharge.
