NCT ID NCT04135950
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 help doctors better understand and manage ACL injuries.
