New program aims to cut delays in knee surgery for hispanic youth athletes
NCT ID NCT07580625
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program to help Hispanic teen soccer players get timely knee surgery. Many face barriers like language and insurance issues that delay care. The program includes an educational talk and a bilingual navigator to guide families. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and well-received, with a future larger trial in mind.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a larger community program that helps Hispanic youth get knee surgery sooner, potentially reducing long-term joint problems.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study focused on feasibility, not on proving the program works. It may not show clear benefits or be scalable to other groups.
