Outline of Final Research Achievements

The biomechanical functions of the CaP-hybridized tendon graft were improved compared with the untreated tendon graft 6 months after anatomical single-bundle ACL reconstruction in goats because of enhanced tendon-to-bone healing at the joint aperture site. The anatomical double-bundle ACL reconstruction enhanced biomechanical function compared with the anatomical single-bundle ACL reconstruction 6 months postoperatively using CaP-hybridized tendon grafts in goats. Anatomical double-bundle ACL reconstruction using CaP-hybridized tendon grafts can lead to better knee functions.
