What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Quadriceps graftProcedure or surgery
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Quadriceps graft | Other | Proximally from patella the Quadriceps graft is harvested and used as a knew anterior cruciate ligament after rupture. Receives: Procedure: Quadriceps graft |
| Hamstrings Graft | Other | The Hamstrings graft is harvested and used as a knew anterior cruciate ligament after rupture. Receives: Procedure: Quadriceps graft |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Patient reported outcome score - IKDC
IKDC (international Knee Documentation committee) subjective score (0-100)
Measured: 12 month
Secondary outcomes (5)
Knee laxity
KT-1000 arthrometer
Measured: 12 month
Patient reported outcome score - KOOS
Koos (Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) contains 5 subscores (Pain, ADL, QOL, Symptoms, Sport \& recreation). Each subscore ranges from 0-100 where higher values represent a better score.
Measured: 12 month

Measured: 12 month
Anterior knee pain scale
Patient reported outcome score (range 0-100)
Measured: 12 month
Donor Site morbidity score
Patient reported outcome score (range 100-0)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Quadriceps graft in people with Ligament; Laxity, Knee and Rupture of Anterior Cruciate Ligament, run by Aarhus University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.
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 1 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 2019. 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 Denmark. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Patient reported outcome score - IKDC (time frame: 12 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02173483, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 29 Apr 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
