ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION

This study compares two surgical methods for fixing a torn ACL, the main knee ligament. Forty adults will be randomly assigned to receive either a single-bundle or double-bundle reconstruction, both combined with an extra ligament repair. Researchers will track knee stability, fu…

This study compares two types of screws used in ACL reconstruction surgery: a human bone screw and a standard biocomposite screw. The goal is to see if the bone screw reduces bone tunnel widening and lowers the chance of re-injury. About 80 people with a first-time ACL tear will …

This study tests whether a single injection of stem cells taken from your own knee fat pad can safely improve healing and knee function after ACL reconstruction surgery. Fifteen adults having ACL surgery will receive the injection during their procedure and be followed for side e…

This study tests if a drug called tranexamic acid (TXA), which reduces bleeding, can prevent arthritis after an ACL tear. About 50 people aged 18-30 with a recent ACL injury will receive TXA right after injury and during surgery. Researchers will check joint inflammation, cartila…

This study compares two wound dressings—silk fibroin and a medical glue—used after ACL reconstruction surgery. Researchers want to see which one leads to fewer skin issues like rashes, blisters, or redness. About 100 people aged 14 to 60 having ACL surgery will take part, and the…

This study tests if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help people recover faster after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) knee reconstruction. About 40 adults aged 18-45 who need ACL surgery will be randomly assigned to receive HBOT or s…

This study tests if a new tool called a dual-flow arthroscopy sheath can replace the standard tourniquet during ACL knee surgery. The goal is to see if it reduces pain and complications after surgery. About 128 adults having their first ACL reconstruction will be randomly assigne…

This study compares two nerve block methods (AFCN block vs. adductor canal block) for pain control in children aged 8-18 having ACL or MPFL knee surgery. Researchers will measure pain levels, opioid use, and muscle strength recovery. The goal is to find which block provides bette…

This study looks at how using a special cuff to limit blood flow during exercise affects immune cells and energy use in people recovering from ACL surgery. Twenty adults aged 18 to 60 will complete two exercise sessions to measure changes in genes, blood sugar, and stress hormone…

This study looks at how a single walking session with different visual cues affects movement and brain signals in 36 athletes who had ACL surgery. One type of cue is steady (isochronous), while the other has natural variations (fractal). The goal is to see if fractal cues can res…
