Needleless graft preparation for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with 4-strand semitendinosus autograft: a biomechanical in vitro study using a porcine model
In all 4 Groups the load to failure was higher than the maximum tension force on the construct that will be applied by hand (182N). Therefore, the needleless preparation technique seems to be a valuable alternative to conventional techniques for the insertion of the graft into the joint during joint-near tibial fixation technique.
