ACL Surgical Repair Solution

Triangle Orthopaedic Associates, P.A. is now seeking volunteers scheduled to undergo an ACL repair for a clinical trial. During the surgery, a solution containing three currently FDA-approved drugs will be flushed through the knee joint during the procedure. The purpose of this study is to find out whether or not the solution prevents pain, swelling and promotes healing in the weeks following the surgery. Volunteers can choose from a physical therapy and diary-oriented participation in the trial, or a physical exam and questionnaire version.
