Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of multimodal perioperative educational resources including a typical preoperative consultation with the surgeon, this same consultation in conjunction with a concise, informative video, worksheet, and quiz, and this same consultation in conjunction with a one time in-person educational session with worksheet and quiz.

The purpose of this study is to better understand the mechanisms that can cause knee osteoarthritis (OA) following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture and ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Those who suffer an ACL injury have a dramatically increased risk of developing early onset knee OA compared to those who do not injure their ACL. While research has established a causal link between ACL injury and OA, the mechanism behind it is still unclear.

The overall primary objective of this 21-site international randomized trial is to determine if graft type (QT, BPTB or HT) with or without a lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) will affect the rate of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) clinical failure 2 years after surgery.

The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical results from knee  reconstruction surgery with an irradiated versus a non-irradiated ligament graft.

The purpose of this study is to validate the patient approved knee assessment (PAKA) by providing the questionnaire to patients to assess patient needs, formulate a questionnaire based on this information, and finally validate the questionnaire in assessing the same outcomes as existing questionnaires for clinical use.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the difference between the Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) and SHAM-BFR groups in change in muscle diameter (hypertrophy) from 2 weeks pre-operative to 8-10 days post-operative.
