The purpose of this study is to first evaluate whether ICG fluorescence angiography can be used to evaluate blood flow of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), tendons, and knee structures during an arthroscopic surgery. The secondary purpose is to evaluate differences in the blood flow in patients with varying grades of ACL tears. To determine optimal intravenous dose of SPY Agent Green and time to visualize fluorescence in tendons and structures intraoperatively during arthroscopic surgery (if primary objective is deemed yes). We hypothesize that ICG will be effective in evaluating blood flow in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy.

Fluorescence signal
To determine if a fluorescence signal is present in knee structures during arthroscopic surgery after an intravenous administration of SPY Agent Green is given.
From enrollment to first follow up appointment.
Cohort #1: up to 10 subjects but may be modified based on fluorescence signal after 3 subjects at the discretion of PI. 2 mL of SPY Agent Green (5.0 mg dose)
Cohort #2: up to 10 subjects but may be modified based on fluorescence signal after 3 subjects at the discretion of PI. 3 mL of SPY Agent Green (7.5 mg dose)
Participants undergoing knee arthroscopy will receive a single intraoperative intravenous dose of indocyanine green (ICG; SPY Agent Green) 2 mL of SPY Agent Green (5.0 mg dose). Following administration, surgeons will use a near-infrared fluorescence-capable arthroscopy system (AIM/1788 platform) to visualize and record perfusion of intra-articular knee structures, including tendons and synovial tissues. Fluorescence presence, time to visualization, and signal duration will be documented intraoperatively, after which the procedure will continue according to standard surgical care.

Cohort #3: up to 10 subjects but may be modified based on fluorescence signal after 3 subjects at the discretion of PI. 4.0 mL of SPY Agent Green (10.0 mg dose)
Cohort #4: up to 10 subjects but may be modified based on fluorescence signal after 3 subjects at the discretion of PI. 5.0 mL of SPY Agent Green (12.5 mg dose)
Participants undergoing knee arthroscopy will receive a single intraoperative intravenous dose of indocyanine green (ICG; SPY Agent Green) 3 mL of SPY Agent Green (7.5 mg dose). Following administration, surgeons will use a near-infrared fluorescence-capable arthroscopy system (AIM/1788 platform) to visualize and record perfusion of intra-articular knee structures, including tendons and synovial tissues. Fluorescence presence, time to visualization, and signal duration will be documented intraoperatively, after which the procedure will continue according to standard surgical care.
Participants undergoing knee arthroscopy will receive a single intraoperative intravenous dose of indocyanine green (ICG; SPY Agent Green) 4 mL of SPY Agent Green (10 mg dose). Following administration, surgeons will use a near-infrared fluorescence-capable arthroscopy system (AIM/1788 platform) to visualize and record perfusion of intra-articular knee structures, including tendons and synovial tissues. Fluorescence presence, time to visualization, and signal duration will be documented intraoperatively, after which the procedure will continue according to standard surgical care.
Participants undergoing knee arthroscopy will receive a single intraoperative intravenous dose of indocyanine green (ICG; SPY Agent Green) 5 mL of SPY Agent Green (12.5 mg dose). Following administration, surgeons will use a near-infrared fluorescence-capable arthroscopy system (AIM/1788 platform) to visualize and record perfusion of intra-articular knee structures, including tendons and synovial tissues. Fluorescence presence, time to visualization, and signal duration will be documented intraoperatively, after which the procedure will continue according to standard surgical care.
