Study Summary

This trial aims to study the effectiveness of concentrated bone marrow aspirate (cBMA) in reducing symptoms of post traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in patients having revision anterior cruciate lig

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who have had a previous ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) reconstruction and are now in need of a revision surgery. They should be experiencing symptoms related to post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Specific eligibility criteria details were not provided.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of concentrated bone marrow aspirate (cBMA) injections during revision ACL surgery, compared to standard care with sham incision. It aims to see if cBMA can reduce pain and inflammation markers after surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects were not detailed, but may include typical risks associated with surgical procedures such as infection, bleeding, or reactions at the injection site.
