Overview

The ACL surgery robot features a preoperative navigation system that enhances the precision of bone tunnel placement. As the first dual-bundle reconstruction surgical robot developed in China, it integrates advanced technology to ensure accurate anatomical alignment. This multi-center study aims to evaluate the robot's effectiveness in improving surgical outcomes and reducing complications, demonstrating the potential of domestic innovations in orthopedic surgery. With its high accuracy in locating bone tunnel footprints, this robot represents a significant advancement in ACL reconstruction techniques.

The trial is designed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) led by a prospective randomized cohort. The study is initiated by Tsinghua University's long-term professor, Yu Jiakuo, and the product has received China's Class III clinical registration certificate.

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.
