Summary

This study tests whether losartan, a common blood pressure drug that also reduces scarring, can prevent abnormal scar tissue (arthrofibrosis) in the knee after ACL reconstruction. About 144 adults having ACL surgery will take losartan or a placebo. The main goal is to see if the drug helps maintain knee range of motion over 12 months.
