ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how different surgical techniques for reconstructing a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) can affect recovery. The researchers are comparing three methods: Anatomical Single-Bundle Reconstruction (ASBR), Central Axial Single-Bundle Reconstruction (CASBR), and Double-Bundle Reconstruction (DBR). They want to understand how the way these tunnels are drilled during surgery impacts the healing process of the graft (the tissue used to replace the torn ligament) and ultimately, the outcome for patients after surgery.

To participate in this study, individuals must be between 18 and 50 years old and have a diagnosed ACL tear that occurred due to sports-related injuries. Participants should not have other ligament injuries or significant knee joint degeneration, and they should be able to commit to following the study's requirements. If you join the trial, you'll receive one of the surgical techniques being studied, and the researchers will monitor your recovery and how well the graft heals over time. This information will help improve surgical options for future patients with similar injuries.
