Muscle Function Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Impaired Power Output in Physically Active Individuals
France110 participantsStarted 2026-06-08
Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to to determine the extent of the association between objective changes in the muscle function of the knee extensors (strength and power) and the function reported by the patient following ACL reconstruction surgery. The main questions it aims to answer is:
\- Pre- and post-operative (6 months) changes in maximum knee extensor strength following ACL reconstruction, correlated with the IKDC-SKF score.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients requiring isolated or complex ACL reconstruction (combined with a meniscal injury)
* Patients who are physically active (Tegner score ≥ 4) and wish to resume such activity.
* Patients with no history of surgery on the ipsilateral knee (i.e., native knee).
* Patients able to comply with the study procedures
* Patients who have given their free and informed written consent, having been informed of the purpose of the study, its procedure and its risks.
* Be affiliated to a social security scheme.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patient with comprehension difficulties
* Recurrent rupture of the ipsilateral ACL
* Multi-ligament injuries (i.e., injury to the medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament or posterior cruciate ligament)
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
