2.1. Objectives of This Research Were
rupture
To determine, using an animal model, whether tubularization of bone-tendon-bone autografts affects the force required for mechanical rupture of the graft;To determine whether tubularization of bone-tendon-bone autografts affects postoperative knee stability;To compare the obtained results with clinical results of arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament using an identical surgical procedure performed without tubularization of bone-tendon-bone autografts.
