About

The objective of this clinical trial is provide in vivo data thus to model the ligament biomechanical behavior within the physiologically healthy joint and to use the implemented model to predict risk and success rates focusing on knee joint Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Current ACL surgery offers 3 alternatives: autografts, allografts and bioengineered grafts; the choice of the implant and its characteristics still remains a critical point. The knowledge of patient-specific joint and graft biomechanics is fundamental to reduce surgical revision rate and low functional outcome. This clinical trial will provide data coming from patient-specific biomechanics into a prognostic computational model, able to provide information on both the optimal customized reconstruction and graft status during the early rehabilitation phase. This patient-specific approach will lead to quicker return to sports activity, reducing also the possibility of early osteoarthritis.
