NCT03875807 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 204

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The overall aim of this study is to determine the effect of the knee flexion angle (KFA) of either 0 degrees, or 30 degrees (measured by sterile goniometer) during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) fixation on postoperative outcomes following single-bundle ACL reconstruction with bone patellar tendon bone (BPTB) autograft. The specific aims of the current study include determining the effect of the knee flexion angle on 1) patient-reported outcomes; 2) postoperative extension loss; 3) antero-posterior (AP) knee stability; 4) rate of re-operation.
