NCT ID NCT04162613
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed 201 young people who had ACL knee surgery to see if simple tests of muscle and nerve function could predict whether the repair would tear again. Participants were tested 8-16 months after surgery and tracked for up to 3 years. The goal was to find early warning signs of re-injury or failure to return to sports.
