Artificial ligaments in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: Coating strategies for PET-based materials
To address key challenges in the application of artificial ligaments, such as limited biocompatibility and poor tissue integration, it is essential to understand the current research progress. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the coatings used for ligaments, highlighting the promising role of surface modification in enhancing implant performance. It offers valuable insights for improving the clinical success rate of artificial ligaments and their long term effectiveness in ACLR, thus holding significant clinical translational potential.
