Objectives To compare the effect of femoral bone tunnel configuration on tendon-bone
healing in an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction animal model. Methods …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with placement of grafted tendon in bone
tunnel is a common surgical procedure. Bone tunnel creation may result in stress shielding …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a flattened bone tunnel has a
positive effect on the tendon–bone healing (TBH) process in the early period after anterior …

Abstract Background Calcium phosphate (CaP)-hybridization of tendon grafts has been
shown to improve tendon-to-bone healing. The purpose of this study was to clarify the …

Incorporation of the tendon graft within the bone tunnel is crucial for a successful outcome
after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Previous studies demonstrated that the …

The current study was performed to understand the relationship between graft length placed
within the bone tunnel and intraosseous graft healing in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) …

Background Graft-to-tunnel healing is a significant factor in anterior cruciate ligament
reconstruction, but there have been few studies on the effect of graft-tunnel diameter …

Background Tunnel widening after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) is
commonly reported without a clear understanding of the mechanism. This study aimed to …

Introduction A calcium phosphate (CaP)-hybridized tendon graft improves tendon-to-bone
healing. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the progression of morphological …

The basic biology of healing between a tendon graft and bone tunnel remains incompletely
understood. Distinct variability in the morphological characteristics of the healing tendon …
