Anterior cruciate ligament tear

Researchers are testing whether injecting a concentrated form of a patient's own bone marrow into the knee can help a completely torn anterior cruciate ligament heal. The study enrolls 20 people aged 20 to 55 with a confirmed ACL tear. Participants receive a single injection of b…

This study investigates whether a single session of whole-body vibration can improve how people with a history of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction land from a jump. Poor landing mechanics are linked to a higher risk of re-injury. Participants stand on a vibrating p…

This study tested whether adding a dynamic knee laxity measurement to standard MRI can improve diagnosis of partial anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. Researchers enrolled 151 people with knee injuries and compared the new method to standard MRI. The goal was to see if the c…

Researchers compare the Werewolf FLOW 50 electrocautery device with standard care during ACL reconstruction in patients aged 12 to 18. The trial measures how many participants develop arthrofibrosis, a complication that restricts knee movement, and tracks knee range of motion and…

This trial explores whether using a custom 3D-printed knee extender, along with a home exercise program, helps people regain knee motion after ACL surgery. Participants who had an ACL tear will use the device at home and report their progress. The study measures how quickly they …

This study compared two types of nerve blocks—femoral and adductor canal—for people having knee arthroscopy (like ACL repair or meniscus surgery). The goal was to see which block provides better pain control while keeping the quadriceps muscle strong. 132 participants received on…

This study tracked 1,646 people having ACL knee surgery to see what other injuries (like meniscus or cartilage tears) they had and what factors might predict those injuries. It was an observational registry, not a test of a new treatment. The goal was to gather information to hel…
