What this Trial Is About

This research aims to clinically evaluate patients with partial anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears who undergo ACL augmentation surgery. The study focuses on assessing knee function primarily using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score to measure outcomes in these patients. The evaluation is conducted at Assiut University Hospital and sponsored by Assiut University. Patients in this study will receive ACL augmentation surgery using a hamstring graft. The graft is fixed to the femoral part with adjustable loop devices, while fixation to the tibial part is done using bio or peak screws, sometimes with additional staples. This procedure is designed for patients with partial ACL tears, including those with or without meniscal tears or knee deformities, and includes both recent and chronic injuries. During the study, participants will undergo clinical evaluations to record IKDC scores at baseline and follow-up to observe changes in knee function after surgery. The main outcome measured is the difference in IKDC scores from baseline. Participants will be monitored throughout the study period, which runs until March 2026, to assess the surgical outcomes and recovery progress.
