Bone graft substitute for tunnel filling improved ACL reconstruction outcomes


Overview

Researchers randomly assigned 40 patients undergoing two-stage revision ACL reconstruction to receive either autologous iliac crest cancellous bone graft for tunnel grafting (control group; n=20) or silicate-substituted calcium phosphate in the form of sculptable microgranules (Actifuse MIS System, Baxter) as a bone graft substitute for tunnel augmentation (intervention group; n=20). Researchers assessed the patients’ […]
