Abstract

We fabricated "ligament analogs" in vitro by seeding high-strength resorbable collagen fiber scaffolds with intraarticular (anterior cruciate ligament, ACL) or extraarticular (patellar tendon, PT) rabbit fibroblasts. Fibroblasts attached, proliferated, and secreted new collagen on the ligament analogs in vitro. Fibroblast function depended on the tissue culture substrate (ligament analog vs. tissue culture plate) and the origin of the fibroblasts (ACL vs. PT) PT fibroblasts proliferated more rapidly than ACL fibroblasts when cultured on ligament analogs. Collagen synthesis by ACL and PT fibroblasts was approximately tenfold greater on ligament analogs than on tissue culture plates. The composition, structure, and geometry of the collagen fiber scaffolds may promote collagen synthesis within ligament analogs in vitro. Ligament analogs roughly approximate the structure and strength of native ligament tissue. Ongoing in vivo studies suggest that autogenous fibroblast-seeded ligament analogs remain viable after implantation into the knee joint. With further development, ligament analogs may be useful as implants for ACL reconstruction surgery.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
