Rupture of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of Recombinant Growth Hormone Therapy to Prevent Muscle Atrophy in Patients With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are among the most frequent traumatic knee injuries that occur in physically active individuals. Despite advances in minimally invasive surgical reconstruction techniques and aggressive rehabilitation, this atrophy and loss of strength can persist even after patients return to full activity and can place them at considerable risk for re-injury and developing osteoarthritis (OA). The design of new therapeutic interventions to prevent muscle atrophy is needed to advance the care of patients who suffer from ACL injuries. The growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) axis plays an important role in promoting muscle growth and protecting muscle from atrophy. While GH therapy has shown promise in protecting immobilized muscle from various models of disuse atrophy, it remains unknown whether GH can help to restore strength and protect against the loss in strength that occurs after ACL tear. GH therapy may help to accelerate the safe return to play of patients that suffer ACL tears, and help to prevent the long-term OA and reduction in quality of life that occur after these traumatic knee injuries.
