Research Abstract

The natural healing of the ruptured anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) using a new animal model was observed by mechanical, histological and immunohistochemistrical methods. The ACL was cut completely by the mini-scissors and then the knee joint was controlled normally with artificial ligament. The ruptured ACL was healed in all rats. Eight weeks after ACL cutting, the Type III collagen was increased in the healing ligament. After 8 weeks and 40 weeks after the ACL cut, the healing ligament was half strength compared to the normal ligament.
The expression of MMP-1, MMP-13 and TIMP-1 in medial and lateral meniscus and rupture ACL was increased after ACL cut. Expression of MMP-13 in the joint control group has been suppressed compared to the no joint control group. It is suggested that abnormal joint movement under the gravity is increased to express of proteolytic enzymes of both meniscus and rupture ACL in the knee joint.
