Knee surgery showdown: does fixation angle matter for ACL recovery?
NCT ID NCT07451743
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 100 people having surgery to repair two knee ligaments (ACL and ALL) after a tear. Surgeons will fix the ALL graft either with the knee straight (0°) or slightly bent (30°). The goal is to see if the angle affects knee stability, function, or the chance of re-injury over two years. Results will help guide surgical technique.
