Significant anterior enlargement of femoral tunnel aperture after hamstring ACL reconstruction, compared to bone–patellar tendon–bone graft
Purpose ::: This study aimed to retrospectively compare the enlargement and migration of the femoral tunnel aperture after anatomic rectangular tunnel anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with a bone–patella tendon–bone (BTB) or hamstring tendon (HT) graft using three-dimensional (3-D) computer models.
Objective:To determine whether primary or mesh herniorrhaphy reverses abdominal wall atrophy and fibrosis associated with hernia formation.Background:We previously demonstrated that hernia formation is associated with abdominal wall atrophy and fibrosis after 5 weeks in an animal model.Methods:A rat
