U.S., Nov. 20 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07236593) titled 'Remnant Preservation and Tibial Tunnel Widening After ACL Reconstruction' on Nov. 15.
Brief Summary: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction is one of the most commonly performed orthopedic procedures. Tibial tunnel widening is a recognized postoperative complication that may affect graft stability and long-term outcomes. Recent studies have suggested that preserving the ACL remnant may improve biological healing and reduce tunnel widening, but the evidence remains inconclusive.
This prospective randomized study aims to evaluate whether remnant (stump) preservation and suturing during ACL reconstruction can reduce the risk ...
