Doctors use sound waves to check if knee surgery weakens a key ligament
NCT ID NCT06863077
Summary
This study aims to understand how well a knee ligament heals after a common surgical step. During surgery to fix a torn meniscus, surgeons sometimes gently stretch a ligament to get better access. Researchers will use a special ultrasound to measure the stiffness of this ligament before surgery and at several points afterward in 30 patients. The goal is to see if the ligament fully recovers its strength or if it remains loose.
