New MRI study to watch ACL graft healing over a year

NCT ID NCT07046000

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study will use MRI scans to see how a new ACL graft heals over 12 months in 10 people who had ACL reconstruction surgery. Scans are done at several time points to measure changes in the graft. The goal is to better understand normal healing patterns after this common knee surgery.

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 doctors know what normal graft healing looks like on MRI, potentially improving recovery monitoring after ACL surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small study (10 people) that only observes healing—it does not test a treatment. Results may not apply to everyone, and MRI findings may not predict long-term outcomes.
