This chapter aims to summarize the risks and benefits of allograft applications in ACL reconstruction and to increase knowledge of graft selection, procurement, sterilization, and preservation techniques. Using the right type of allograft is essential to its successful application in ACL reconstruction....
The use of autogenous tissue may be constrained by its limited size, shape, and availability, making allograft tissue ideal for revision surgery. In revision ACL reconstruction, larger bone plugs may be needed and are usually available with bone–patellar tendon–bone or Achillestendon allografts(Fig...
The outcomes of 18 patients (11 females, 7 males; age, 40.4±11 years) at 2 years after ACL reconstruction with cryopreserved tibialis anterior allografts using a double bundle technique are presented. Most subjects (72%) described themselves as being moderately active before surgery. After providi...

This paper will provide information concerning the specifics of allograft use in ACL reconstruction. A detailed discussion of the science of allografts, both technical and theoretical, along with experimental studies will be followed by information concerning graft preparation and the advantages and ...
Purpose Graft choice in primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction remains controversial. The use of allograft has risen exponentially in recent years with the attraction of absent donor site morbidity, reduced surgical time and reliable graft size. However, the published evidence examining ...
