Description
Summary:[2] reported that only DA ACL repairs decrease anterior tibial translation after cyclic loading across the arc of flexion while applying an anterior force to the tibia. [...]as with all cadaveric studies, our results are limited by the absence of in vivo conditions, including: joint compression, dynamic loading, and muscle contraction. [...]we would like to emphasize that more research is needed, including histological and second-look studies to better understand the post-operative healing of ACL repairs.
