ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT RUPTURE

This study is testing a new procedure called BEAR that helps heal a torn ACL using an implant and the patient's own blood. Researchers want to see if older patients recover better than younger ones, or the other way around. About 250 people with recent ACL tears will be followed …

This study tests whether adding a patient's own bone marrow stem cells to standard ACL surgery helps the new ligament heal better. About 100 adults with a recent ACL tear will be randomly assigned to get stem cells or not. The main goal is to see if the graft looks more healed on…

This study tests a new regenerative ligament (CT-ACL001) for repairing torn ACLs in the knee. About 64 adults aged 18-45 will be randomly assigned to get either the new ligament or standard surgery. The main goal is to see if the new ligament provides similar or better knee funct…

This study compares two standard ways to manage pain after ACL knee surgery: a nerve block injection versus oral pain medication. About 60 people aged 18 to 45 having ACL reconstruction will take part. Researchers will measure pain levels and how much opioid medication is needed,…

This study tests whether using active noise-cancelling headphones and a structured communication method can reduce the time it takes to perform ACL knee surgery. About 54 patients having ACL reconstruction will take part. The goal is to see if cutting down on loud equipment noise…

This study looks at 29 people who had ACL knee surgery using their own hamstring tendons. Researchers use a special ultrasound to measure how elastic the healed tendons are and compare them to the healthy side. They also test leg muscle strength and check if tendon quality affect…

This study looks at two different tendon grafts used to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee: one from the hamstring and one from the peroneus longus muscle in the leg. Researchers will use MRI and CT scans to see how well each graft heals and how it affects…
