Hourglass-shaped grafts are superior to conventional grafts for restoring knee stability and graft force at knee flexion angle of 30° following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A finite element analysis

Hourglass-shaped grafts are superior to conventional grafts for restoring knee stability and graft force at knee flexion angle of 30° following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A finite element analysis

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using a generally columnar graft is considered the gold standard for treating anterior cruciate ligament ruptures, but such grafts cannot replicate the geometry and mechanical properties of the native anterior cruciate ligament.Purpose: To...
