Quadriceps tendonThe quadriceps tendon is an excellent graft choice for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. It is a broad, thick tendon, and a graft 10 to 12 mm quad, 8 to 12 mm thick, and up to 100 mm in length can be obtained. The harvest of the tendon avoids many other ...
When your doctor removes your torn ACL, they put a tendon in its place. (Tendons connect muscle to bone.) The goal is to get your knee stable again and give it the full range of motion it had before you got hurt. When the tendon is put into your knee, it’s known as a graft. ...
The patellar tendon graft has proven to be one of the strongest for ACL reconstruction. Patients who have this operation generally get back to their usual activities and sports. They often do so faster than people who have their ACL reconstructed with other types of tissue grafts. This guide ...
基于Perthes和Marshall的研究,ACL断裂的直接修复方法一直沿用到20世纪80年代。 1903年,慕尼黑的Fritz Lange[1864–1952]在1895年使用蚕丝编制的纤维治愈瘫痪双脚后,首次提出用“丝制人工韧带(蚕丝编制的纤维)”治疗膝关节不稳。1907年,他描述了4例利用“丝制人工韧带”与...
These data summarize the results of five panels on anatomic ACL reconstruction. The most popular graft choice among surgeons for primary ACL reconstructions is hamstring tendon autograft, with allograft being used most frequently employed in revision cases. Nearly half of the surgeons surveyed performed...
A Patient’s Guide to Hamstring Tendon Graft Reconstruction of the ACL Introduction When the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee is torn or injured, surgery may be needed to replace it. There are many different ways to do this operation. One is to take a piece of the hamstring ...
We hypothesize that by further increasing the folds and using a six fold tendon graft will improve outcome. Also a six fold graft will have a larger cross sectional area and will be biomechanically more strong thus improving the knee stabilitySancheti, Parag K...
We measured the initial fixation strength of a new graft, bone-hamstring-bone (BHB), for reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament () in 79 porcine knees and compared it with that of the normal porcine and of the bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPB) graft. All specimens were subjected to...
Paper # 84: ACL Reconstruction Using Bone-Tendon-Bone Graft Engineered from the Semitendinosus Tendon by Injection of Recombinant BMP-2 in a Rabbit Model We attempted to generate a bone-tendon-bone structure by injecting human-type recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) into the...
A recent comprehensive literature review underlines that firm tendon-to-bone healing was not always necessary for clinical stability of the knee joint. The underlying graft bone healing process is far from understood in human ACL reconstruction with hamstring muscles [25]. 2.2. Physiotherapeutic Proced...
