Key requirements

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 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Male or female patient who underwent ligamentoplasty in 1 Knee (1leg) using one or more LARS® artificial ligaments, with or without associated fixation devices between 2015 and 2018.

Who may be able to join

  • Patient who received study information and provided informed consent to participate in the study, where required by applicable local regulations and ethics committee requirements.
  • Patient who underwent ligamentoplasty using one or more LARS® artificial ligaments for posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), and/or medial collateral ligament (MCL) in only 1 leg (knee) reconstruction between 2015 and 2018 (or since 9 to 12 years from data collection time-point).
  • Surgical procedure performed using LARS® ligaments in accordance with the intended use and routine clinical practice.
  • Availability of adequate medical records and follow-up documentation allowing assessment of the study endpoints related to safety and performance

Who cannot join

  • Patients aged less than 18 years at the time of the ligamentoplasty procedure.
  • Patients presenting, at the date of surgery, with any contraindication to ligamentoplasty procedures and/or contraindications specified in the applicable Instructions for Use (IFU) of the implanted device.
  • Patients who are lost to follow-up, deceased at the time of study conduct.
  • Patients who have undergone bilateral ligamentoplasty.
  • Patients belonging to a protected or vulnerable population, including individuals under guardianship, curatorship, legal protection measures, or any other condition limiting their ability to provide informed consent in accordance with applicable local regulations.
  • Patients for whom the implanted ligament and/or associated fixation devices cannot be reliably identified from the available documentation.

About this study

This study aims to assess the long-term safety, stability, knee function, pain, and satisfaction of patients who received a LARS® ligament to treat an injury of one of the main ligaments of the knee.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter observational PMCF study combining retrospective collection of historical clinical data with a prospective 10-year follow-up assessment, including a evaluation of device status, patient-reported outcomes and knee stability.

What is being measured

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

  1. Device failure proportion

    The primary safety endpoint is the proportion of knees with a device failure at 10 years post-procedure. Device failure is defined as implant removal for any aseptic reason, including implant rupture.

    Measured: 10 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Occurence of knee-related adverse events

    Perioperative and postoperative related to ligaments or fixations or instruments up to 10 years postoperatively. Occurence by % on the total number of ligaments assessed.

    Measured: 10 years

  2. Occurence of device deficiency

    Description of device deficiencies occurring within 10 years post-procedure, related to the ligament reconstruction and/or fixation devices. Occurence by % on the total number of ligaments assessed.

    Measured: 10 years

  3. Occurence of reintervention

    Description of reintervention occurring within 10 years post-procedure, related to any cause, without device removal. Occurence by % on the total number of ligaments assessed.

    Measured: 10 years

  4. Pain level

    Pain level at 10 years measured by Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) with pain subscore. It is composed on 9 questions. Each item is evaluated on 4 points ranking from 0 (none pain) to 4 (extreme pain)

    Measured: 10 years

  5. Knee function

    Knee stability at 10 years measured with Lysholm score and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score .

    IKDC from 0 (unable to perform activity) to 4 (very demanding activity). Lysholm score is composed of subscales for pain, instability, locking, swelling, limp, stair climbing, squatting, and the need for support. Scores range from 0 (worse disability) to 100 (less disability) IKDC contains sections on knee symptoms (7 items), function (2 items), and sports activities (2 items). Scores range from 0 points (lowest level of function or highest level of symptoms) to 100 points (highest level of function and lowest level of symptoms).

    Measured: 10 years

  6. Knee stability

    Knee stability at 10 years measured with Lysholm score section 4 and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score section 7.

    IKDC question 7 assess activity level with a 4 points item ranking from 0 (unable to perform activity) to 4 (very demanding activity).

    Lysholm score section 4 assess knee stability on a 25 points item ranking from 0 (my knee gives way at every step )to 25 (my knee rarely gives way)

    Measured: 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Knee Ligament Injury, run by MOVMEDIX.

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 6 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Device failure proportion (time frame: 10 years). 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 7 Oct 2026.
