The authors review the current knowledge on donor site–related problems after using
different types of autografts for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and make …

Surgical reattachment of tendon and bone such as in rotator cuff repair, patellar-patella
tendon repair and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction often fails due to the …

Background: A prospective study was done to determine the functional results, patient
satisfaction, and graft failure rate after fifty‐seven consecutive revision replacements of the …

Knee anterior cruciate ligament reconstructive surgery has significantly evolved and now
includes the option of using an allograft. This has resulted in numerous studies evaluating …

Tendon–bone junctions (TBJs) are frequently injured, especially in athletic settings. Healing
of TBJ injuries is slow and is often repaired with scar tissue formation that compromises …

Background: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation (LIPUS) has been proven to be a
beneficial biophysical therapy for tendon-bone (TB) healing. However, the optimal time to …

Background Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is indicated for treatment of chronic injuries
of soft tissues and delayed fracture healing and nonunion. No investigation has been …

In 2004, we reported the early results for a series of patients undergoing anterior cruciate
ligament reconstruction with use of a quadriceps tendon autograft22. The central quadriceps …

Background Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound has been demonstrated to be beneficial for
accelerating fracture healing, delayed union, nonunion, and soft tissue repair. Hypothesis …

Objectives. To study the healing quality of bone to bone and bone to tendon repair in a
