What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study tested whether adding a reconstruction of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) to a repeat anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery improves knee stability and patient-reported outcomes. 102 people who needed a second ACL surgery took part. Half received the standard ACL revision alone, and half also had the ALL reconstruction. The goal was to see if the extra procedure leads to better rotational knee stability and higher scores on knee function questionnaires.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction procedure
What this could lead to
If successful, adding ALL reconstruction could improve knee stability and long-term function for people needing repeat ACL surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a completed trial with 102 participants, so results are limited in size. The extra surgery may not provide meaningful benefit over standard ACL revision alone and carries typical surgical risks.
