View clinical trials related to Cruciate Ligament Rupture.
Filter by:The antero-external cruciate ligament (ACL) is the ligament located inside the knee, which allows the rotation of the knee by stabilizing the femur and the tibia. Rupture of the ACL is common during the practice of certain so-called "pivot" sports, whether contact or not. It is manifested by acute pain or instability of the knee, following a crack during a twist and/or a blockage of the joint. The diagnosis will be confirmed by a clinical examination and X-rays to eliminate any fracture or tearing and by MRI to visualize the ligament rupture and the associated lesions, in particular a lesion of the meniscus. Treatment is required because the ruptured ligament does not heal on its own and the rupture of the ligament may eventually promote the appearance of osteoarthritis. Two types of treatment can be considered, rehabilitation or surgery, depending on the patient's age and motivation to resume sports. There are several surgical techniques, the most common is to reconstruct the ruptured ligament by arthroscopy using a graft taken from the tendons of the Internal Rectus and Demi muscles tendinous (DIDT). Rehabilitation by physiotherapy is often started preoperatively and immediately after the operation, as soon as you wake up, to find a functional and painless knee. Functional recovery often depends on patient motivation. The main objective is to show that osteopathic care in addition to physiotherapy rehabilitation improves knee functionality in patients 6 months after reconstruction of the ACL by DIDT.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are the most common traumatic knee ligament injuries. This lesion has a devastating influence on patients' activity levels and quality of life. ACL injuries are most frequent between the ages of 15 and 45 years. Individuals who choose conservative treatment must undergo physical therapy to strengthen muscles around the knee, notably the quadriceps femoris and hamstring muscles. It had been described that in absence of surgical treatment, the knee remains unstable and vulnerable to injury having a much poorer prognosis. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of neuromuscular taping (kinesiotape) compared to placebo in patients with non-operated anterior cruciate ligament rupture.
Genomes of all sports medicine-related genes will be exome sequenced to find relevant gene mutations. To further study the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways related to sports injury. To search for genetic risk factors of injury and put forward related scientific hypotheses. To demonstrate the importance of mutation or polymorphism of related genes in injury.
The aim of the study is the evaluation of both clinical and radiological results in patients undergone to cruciate ligament reconstruction with concomitant cartilaginous lesion treated with or without nanofractures.
