About this study

Official title: Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament: a Comparative MRI Study Evaluating Residual Rotational Laxity for Single Versus Double Bundle Surgical Techniques

The main objective of this study is to compare, using MRI measures with a specialized splint, the persistent rotatory laxity after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using single bundle and double bundle surgical techniques, between the seventh and eighth months after surgery, and for different degrees of knee flexion (0 °, 20 °, 40 °, 60 °).

Being tested

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Single bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstructionProcedure or surgery

    Single bundle anterior cruciate ligamentoplasty

  • Double bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstructionProcedure or surgery

    Double bundle anterior cruciate ligamentoplasty

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Residual rotational laxity during MRI

    Residual rotational laxity is defined as the difference between the operated knee and the non-operated knee for "D", where D is the distance between the posterior tibial cortex and the center of the circle which forms the lateral femoral condyle. D will be evaluated at 4 angles of flexion (0°, 20°, 40° and 60°) and evaluated as a repeated measure.

    Measured: 7-8 months post-op

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Lysholm score

    Measured: 7-8 months

  2. International Knee Documentation Committee score

    Measured: 7-8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Single bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and Double bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in people with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Patient enrolment proved to be more difficult than foreseen and was stopped at 46 inclusions.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Residual rotational laxity during MRI (time frame: 7-8 months post-op). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Mar 2015.
