Double repair tested for unstable knees after failed surgery

NCT ID NCT02680821

Summary

This study tested whether adding a repair of a second knee ligament (the anterolateral ligament, or ALL) during a repeat surgery to fix a torn ACL improves knee stability and patient-reported outcomes. It involved 102 patients who needed a second ACL surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either the standard repeat ACL surgery or the standard surgery plus the extra ALL repair to see which approach worked better.
