Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction With Bone Tendon Bone Autograft With Versus Without Internal Bracing (NCT05532189)
ACL Reconstruction With Bone Tendon Bone (BTB) Autograft With Versus Without Internal Brace - Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
There is no consensus regarding the best surgical management of primary ACL tears. Recent evidence suggests that internal brace augmentation may increase load failure and therefore stabilize the graft in-situ at the time of ACL reconstruction. This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to compare the time to return to activity, and participant reported outcomes in participants with bone-tendon-bone ACL reconstruction with and without (control) internal brace augmentation.
