This study follows 69 adults undergoing surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) to better understand how they recover. Researchers will use the Lysholm Knee Score to find out what level of improvement is meaningful for patients and what factors might prevent a full re…

This study tests whether a special tensioner tool helps surgeons better balance the ligaments during total knee replacement compared to the usual technique. About 200 adults getting a specific knee implant will be split into two groups, one using the tensioner and one using stand…

This study checks if a Turkish version of the Tegner Activity Score, a tool that measures how active people with knee injuries are, is accurate and reliable. Researchers will ask 69 patients who had knee surgery to fill out questionnaires. The goal is to make sure the score works…

This study looks at how an athlete's mental readiness, along with knee function and strength, affects their ability to return to sports after ACL reconstruction. Researchers will measure psychological readiness, knee function, and muscle strength in 52 male athletes who had ACL s…
