- What it's testing
- The study wants to see if adding concentrated bone marrow aspirate to revision ACL surgery improves pain and other symptoms of knee arthritis, and to understand how it might work.
- Who it's for
- It is looking for adults who have had a previous ACL reconstruction and now need another surgery because of knee arthritis.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive the usual revision ACL surgery plus a small injection of concentrated bone marrow aspirate. They will have follow‑up visits and blood tests to check inflammation markers.
