This study is looking at how quickly people can return to sports after a specific type of ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) reconstruction surgery. This surgery, called "Fertilized ACL," uses bone marrow aspirate, demineralized bone matrix (DBM), and an internal brace to help repair the ligament. Researchers want to understand how well this procedure works by tracking your ability to return to play and by performing biomechanics testing (measuring how your body moves). They are also interested in a specific biological process called RAF. The study is open to individuals aged 14 to 26 who need ACL reconstruction and are skeletally mature. The goal is to see what success looks like for patients returning to their activities.

Study design

This is an observational study planning to enroll 450 participants. It is not a randomized trial, meaning you would not be assigned to different treatment groups.

What's involved

You would provide baseline information through surveys and physical exams before surgery. After surgery, you would have return-to-sport evaluations at 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 12 months, and an MRI at 6 months.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

You would be followed for return to play from 6 months after surgery until the study concludes, and for biomechanics testing at 4.5 and 6 months after surgery.
