ACL

This study compares outcomes of a specific ACL reconstruction technique, called over-the-top with lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET), in patients over 50 years old versus those under 30. The technique uses the patient's own hamstring tendons and adds an extra procedure to st…

This trial is testing whether using a hamstring tendon from a parent can safely and effectively reconstruct a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in children and teenagers whose bones are still growing. The study will enroll 40 patients aged 8 to 17 with ACL tears that need sur…

This study looks at how well a particular revision ACL surgery works over the long term. The technique uses a donor Achilles tendon and an extra stitch on the outside of the knee. Researchers will check knee function, stability, and arthritis development in 59 people who had this…

This study tests whether walking on a split-belt treadmill (where each leg moves at a different speed) can improve how the knee loads weight after ACL reconstruction. Nine people who had ACL surgery within the past 10 months will be randomly assigned to one of two training groups…

This study looks at whether neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) or vibration can help people who have had anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction regain strength in their quadriceps (thigh muscle). The researchers want to see if these treatments reduce muscle inhi…

This study tests a device called VibraCool that uses cooling and vibration to reduce pain after ACL knee surgery. The goal is to see if it can lower pain scores and help people stop taking opioid pain pills sooner. About 130 adults who had ACL reconstruction will use the device a…
