Promotion of bone-tendon healing after ACL reconstruction using scaffold-free constructs comprising ADSCs produced by a bio-3D printer in rabbit models
The method of transplanting a scaffold-free autologous ADSC construct is a technique that can safely and reliably transplant ADSCs to the tendon-bone tunnel interface without using foreign substances. It can be applied to bone-tendon healing in ACL reconstruction surgery and other areas, such as the rotator cuff and Achilles tendon attachment site.
