Surgeons use navigation tools to measure knee stability during surgery
NCT ID NCT03441165
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study measures how loose the knee is during surgery for ACL reconstruction, ACL revision, or meniscus transplantation. Researchers use a navigation system and a special device to track knee movement in real time. The goal is to gather data that may help improve surgical techniques. The study involves 1,500 participants aged 14 to 65.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help surgeons better understand knee stability during surgery, potentially leading to improved techniques for ACL reconstruction and meniscus transplantation.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study focused on measurement, not a treatment. It may not directly lead to better patient outcomes, and results may not apply to all knee surgeries.
