RECRUITING PATIENTS FOR NEW STUDY:

DID YOU JUST TEAR YOUR ACL??

THIS NEW STUDY IS ENROLLING PATIENTS THAT PRESENT WITHIN 1 WEEK OF AN ACL TEAR IN THE KNEE TO EVALUATE A CURRENT MEDICATION THAT DECREASES BLEDDING IN THE KNEE FROM THE INJURY AND MAY HAVE THE ABILITY TO REDUCE LONG TERM JOINT DAMAGE FROM THIS INJURY.  ENROLLMENT IS OPTIONAL, BUT PLEASE CONTACT OUR OFFICE IMMEDIATELY (408-866-6651) IF YOU HAVE THIS ACUTE INJURY TO BE SEEN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  YOU MAY ALSO CONTACT THE ACUTE ACL RESEARCH HOTLINE AT 650-721-7612.
