This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a robotic surgical system called the Rosa robot to help surgeons place tunnels more accurately during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction — a common knee surgery. The study will include 30 patients who need ACL repair and will compare how well the Rosa robot guides tunnel placement during surgery. Researchers hope this robotic assistance will lead to better surgical outcomes and faster recovery.
ACL reconstruction surgery is common, but placing the surgical tunnels in exactly the right spot is challenging and affects how well patients recover. This trial exists to see if robotic guidance can make tunnel placement more precise and consistent, which could improve the surgery's success rate.

If you join this trial, you will receive ACL reconstruction surgery with the robotic system guiding the placement of the surgical tunnels. Your surgeon will use either a hamstring tendon or patellar tendon graft, depending on what is best for your situation. The trial will track how accurately the robot placed the tunnels and monitor your recovery compared to standard surgical techniques.
