Smoking and reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament. by Karim, A, Pandit, H, Murray, J, Wandless, F, Thomas, N

“…We sought to determine whether smoking affected the outcome of reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament. We analysed the results of 66 smokers (group 1 with a mean follow-up of 5.67 years (1.1 to 12.7)) and 238 non-smokers (group 2 with a mean follow-up of 6.61 years (1.2 to 11.5)), who were statistically similar in age, gender, graft type, fixation and associated meniscal and chondral pathology. …”

Artificial anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by Alinejad, M

“…<p>Conventional anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction grafts have not been able to replicate the mechanical behaviour of the native ACL, reproduce normal knee mechanics and kinematics, or prevent degenerative disease progression of the knee. …”

Functional results from reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament using the central third of the patellar ligament and flexor tendons by Marcos George de Souza Leao, Abelardo Gautama Moreira Pampolha, Nilton Orlando Junior

“…ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: To evaluate knee function in patients undergoing reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) using the central third of the patellar ligament or the medial flexor tendons of the knee, i.e. quadruple ligaments from the semitendinosus and gracilis (ST-G), by means of the Knee Society Score (KSS) and the Lysholm scale. …”
