Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Hybrid Remnant Repair (NCT05494073)
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Hybrid Remnant Repair Randomized Control Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Patients between 14-60 years of age who will undergo an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction between Nov 1, 2021- Dec 31, 2023, will have their charts reviewed be approached in clinic when the surgery is scheduled regarding their participation in this study. At the time of consent, patients will be randomized to a group via a computerized randomization process, either the experimental hybrid remnant repair (HRR) or traditional ACL reconstruction with ACL stump debridement. Routine postoperative data will be collected at regularly scheduled post-operative and physical therapy appointments including range of motion, pain, patient-reported outcomes, return-to-sport tests, and proprioceptive data. Additionally, patients will be asked to undergo a post-operative MRI between 9 and 15 months following the date of their surgery. Radiologists reading the MRIs will be blinded to which group the patient is in. The primary outcome measure is graft incorporation between the two groups.
