A comparative study of collagen morphology and joint strength in anterior cruciate ligament repair and reconstruction models in rabbits
This study establishes a reproducible and cost-effective ACL repair model in rabbits and confirms that tendon-bone osteointegration occurs in both ACL repair and reconstruction. Superior biomechanical strength and enhanced type I collagen integration in the reconstruction group underscore current clinical outcomes favoring reconstruction. This model offers a valuable platform for exploring biological augmentation strategies to enhance ACL repair efficacy.
