Inclusion Criteria: ACL reconstruction Exclusion Criteria: none

Sites / Locations

  • UF Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Active Comparator

Experimental

Arm Label

ACL reconstruction control

ACL Biocleanse, surgical

Arm Description

The intervention consists of the reconstruction of the ACL ligament using patellar tendon allografts.

The intervention consists of the surgical reconstruction of the ACL ligament using patellar tendon allografts that have undergone the BioCleanse™ process.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Form
The IKDC Subjective Evaluation Form is scored by summing the scores for the individual items and then transforming the score to a scale that ranges from 0-100. A score of 100 is interpreted to mean no limitation with activities of daily living and the absence of symptoms.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of patellar tendon allografts that have undergone the BioCleanse™ process.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of patellar tendon allografts that have undergone the BioCleanse™ process. You are being asked to volunteer in a research study. The purpose of this study is to compare the different ways of cleaning allograft tendons used to replace the main ligament in the knee. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the main ligament in the knee that your doctor will replace in your surgery. The allograft tendons come from other people who have donated a tendon from the front of the knee after they died. The three ways of cleaning the tendons that will be used in this study are BioCleanse, irradiation, and aseptic. Aseptic uses clean conditions when preparing the tissue for surgery, sometimes with a chemical bath. BioCleanse is a way of cleaning the tendon physically and chemically, while irradiation uses gamma rays. The goal is to clean the tendons to make them safer for the patients without weakening the tendon when put in the knee.
