ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at new ways to diagnose injuries to the knee's cruciate ligaments, which are important for stability. Traditionally, doctors assess these injuries by physically examining the knee, but this method can be unreliable. The trial is testing two new tools: an MRI scan and a special device called DYNEELAX that measures knee movement more accurately. The goal is to see how well these new methods can detect differences in knee movement between injured and healthy knees.

To participate in this trial, individuals need to have a confirmed or suspected injury to their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). If a person is unable to have an MRI or has had previous knee surgeries or fractures on the injured knee, they won't be eligible to join. Participants will undergo tests using the MRI and the DYNEELAX device, which will help doctors better understand their knee injuries. This study is currently recruiting patients and aims to improve diagnosis and treatment for knee ligament injuries in the future.
