Retrospective, multi-center, chart review (only to include data that is part of the surgeons' standard practice)
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the outcomes of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction for the treatment of recurrent patellar instability. The main questions it aims to answer are: What are the risk factors for recurrent patellar instability after MPFL reconstruction? What functional outcomes do patients …
The study is intended to include all patients who will undergo surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The patients will be monitored and evaluated preoperatively and also at 6 months and 1, 2 and 5 years after the intervention through a clinical visit or telephone interview. Such assessments …
This is a prospective, observational cohort study aimed at establishing a database of normative biomechanics for healthy athletes and surveying these athletes for 12 months following baseline testing for the occurrence of new musculoskeletal injuries, with a particular emphasis on ACL injuries.
This study is being done to find out if metformin is effective at reducing pain by delaying the onset of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. This research study will compare metformin to placebo. The placebo tablet looks exactly like metformin, but contains no metformin. Placebos are …
Evaluation of clinical results and postoperative laxity after single-stage reconstruction of multiligamentous lesions of the knee. Comparison of two types of transplant: allograft versus autograft. There is currently little data in the clinical outcome literature after allograft reconstruction. There is one study reporting postoperative laxity assessed by dynamic radiography in …
In this randomized controlled trial the investigators will compare the results after primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using two different methods for femoral fixation of a bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autograft. Interference screws have been the standard method for fixing the femoral side of BPTB grafts; however, several pitfalls have …
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial with the purpose to determine if patients undergoing isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction, or isolated medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction, or combined PCL, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), fibular collateral ligament (FCL), posterolateral corner (PLC), and MCL reconstructions (or any combination of multiple …
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial with the purpose to determine if patients undergoing fibular collateral ligament (FCL) reconstruction alone or combined FCL and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions can safely begin full controlled weightbearing for the first six weeks after surgery.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about patients who will undergo anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the minimal clinically important difference value of the Lysholm Knee Score? What is the substantial clinical benefit value of the Lysholm Knee …
