Overview

Accurate ideal graft tunnel positioning is essential for the successful application of anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The accurate insertion of the tibial tunnel (TT) and femoral tunnel (FT) remain a challenge.

A robotic assisted new strategy for drill TT and FT in ACL reconstruction will be performed and its efficacy and accuracy will be assess.

The investigators will prospectively include 30 patients with ACL rupture requiring surgical treatment. The reconstruction will be performed with hamstring tendon graft or patellar tendon graft. The femoral and tibial tunnels placement will be guided by the Rosa robot (Zimmer®).

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients managed by another ACL reconstruction technique
  • Patients under guardianship, curators deprived of liberty
  • Pregnant and nursing women.
  • Patient who refused to participate in the study and to sign informed consent

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
