New study seeks to define what 'Good Recovery' really means after ACL surgery
NCT ID NCT06571227
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 69 adults undergoing surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Researchers want to find out what counts as a meaningful improvement in knee function using a standard scoring tool (the Lysholm Knee Score). They will also look for factors that might prevent patients from reaching important recovery milestones. The goal is to better understand and predict recovery after ACL reconstruction.
