Background: Recent reports have suggested that a traditional transtibial technique cannot
practically accomplish an anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction …

PURPOSE: To compare the structural properties of 5 different fixation strategies for a free
tendon graft at the patella in medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction under …

Objective. The objective was to determine the effect of varying graft stiffness and initial graft
tension on knee kinematics and graft tension after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction …
