Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the histo logic and biomechanical changes that occur between 12 and 52 weeks in an intraarticular, semitendinosus autograft placed through tibial and femoral drill holes in a rabbit model. The results of this study show that, in this rabbit model, the soft tissue graft maintained its biologic fixation in the osseous tunnel when stressed to failure at 1 year. The bony fixation occurred by the formation of an indirect tendon insertion, and this for mation was complete by 26 weeks. At 52 weeks, large differences persisted in the strength and stiffness of the graft compared with the normal semitendinosus tendon and anterior cruciate ligament. Based on the results of this study, we support a cautious approach in returning patients to early full activity, including sports, after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with a semitendinosus autograft.

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.
