About this study

Official title: Ligamys Technique Versus Standard Technique for the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture

The assess results of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) repair with the Ligamys® surgical technique versus standard technique.

The aim of the study is to compare (laxity, instability, and safety) these two types of treatment by using a prospective, randomised multicenter analysis.

Read the detailed description

The treatment of acute ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament is surgical in some cases with ligamentoplasty technique.

Contrary to the classic ligamentoplasty, the treatment with Ligamys consists of promoting heating of the ligament itself by controlling mechanical environment.

It allows a "dynamic" stabilization of the torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament with in the 3 weekly following traumatism. These techniques may improve the recovery process, proprioceptive results, decrease morbidity of transplant harvesting and faster for the patients. It's all these issues we would like to assess with a randomised multicenter study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ligamys technique and standard technique (anatomic reconstruction) in people with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Mar 2022. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Patrick LACARIN (04 73 75 11 95, placarin@chu-clermontferrand.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measuring anterior knee laxity with KT 1000 arthrometer (time frame: at 12 months). 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 15 Mar 2022.
