Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: 1994 patients were identified from medical records between Jan. 2019 and Dec. 2021. After reviewing the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 540 patients were included in the present study (71 pediatric patients and 469 adults).

Who may be able to join

  • unilateral acute primary ACL tear, considered when the patient reported knee injury occurring less than 2 weeks before the examination;
  • bone bruising on the femoral condyles and tibial plateau identified on MRI.

Who cannot join

  • concomitant ligament (posterior cruciate ligament and/or posterolateral complex) procedures or realignment procedures; contralateral knee injury;
  • previous injury or surgery affecting the ipsilateral knee;
  • insufficient data from the electronic medical record system;
  • lack of KF visualization on MRI.

About this study

Official title: Influence of Injury to the Kaplan Fibers and Anterolateral Ligament on Anterolateral Rotatory Knee Laxity in Adult and Pediatric Patients With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury: A Retrospective Cohort Study

The goal of this [type of study: observational study] is to [detect concomitant KF and ALL injury in knees with ACL injury using MRI in both adult and pediatric patients and compare the effect of KF injury and multiple risk factors (concomitant injury to the ALL, medial collateral ligament [MCL], or anterior, central, or posterior part of the medial or lateral meniscus) on anterolateral rotatory laxity as measured by the pivot-shift test in a clinical setting.].

The main question [s] it aims to answer are:

[Does the main risk factor for a high-grade pivot shift after acute ACL injury differ between pediatric patients and adults?] [Does Concomitant KF injury significantly affect the pivot-shift phenomenon in pediatric patients with acute ACL injury?] Researchers will compare [71 pediatric patients and 469 adults] to see if [main risk factor for a high-grade pivot shift after acute ACL injury differs between pediatric patients and adults?].

What participants receive

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

  • AgeOther

    The retrospective study included 540 patients with primary ACL tears (71 pediatric patients and 469 adults) whose MRI examination and pivot-shift test were conducted within 14 days after injury. To detect concomitant KF and ALL injury in knees with ACL injury using MRI in both adult and pediatric patients and compare the effect of KF injury and multiple risk factors on anterolateral rotatory laxity as measured by the pivot-shift test in a clinical setting.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ACL-injury, run by Sichuan Province Orthopetic Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 21 Aug 2023. 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 China. 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?

KF injury (time frame: 3 years). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 21 Aug 2023.
