Overview

In anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, navigation and robotic assistance now provide the possibility of precise positioning of the tunnels.

The challenge is therefore to carry out isometric preoperative planning which can be carried out with robotic or navigation assistance.

In the classic reconstruction technique this isometry is assumed by positioning the tunnels on the center of the native ACL footprints. However, studies cast doubt on this hypothesis.

In this work, the investigators will study the isometry of the center of the native footprints on a dynamic 4D scanner in order to obtain the variation in the distance between the centers of the native footprints during a knee flexion cycle.

This study is part of a larger project. the objective is, if the absence of isometry of the center of the native impressions is confirmed, to develop software assistance which will help the surgeon plan preoperatively an isometric reconstruction. The hypothesis is that the techniques based on the center of the native footprints does not allow isometric reconstruction.

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.
