Anterior Cruciate Ligament deficiency leads to early instability of scaffold for cartilage regeneration: a controlled laboratory ex-vivo study

摘要

PurposeThe affect of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) integrity on the early postoperative stability of a collagen type-I gel scaffold was investigated. The value of fibrin glue for graft fixation in ACL deficient porcine knees over a simulated early postoperative period was also studied.
