In this paper, we review a series of studies that we initiated to examine mechanisms of
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in the hope that these injuries, and their sequelae …

Anatomical discoveries and a growing appreciation of the knee as a complex organ are
driving innovations in patient care decision-making following anterior cruciate ligament …

Background: Nearly three-quarters of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur as
“noncontact” failures from routine athletic maneuvers. Recent in vitro studies revealed that …

An accurate reconstruction of habitual activities in past populations and extinct hominin
species is a paramount goal of paleoanthropological research, as it can elucidate the …

The firm integration of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) grafts into bones remains the most
demanding challenge in ACL reconstruction, since graft loosening means graft failure. For a …

The cruciate ligaments are components of the knee capsuloligamentous system providing
vital neurosensory and biomechanical function. Since most historical primary ACL repair …

Background: High rates of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and surgical reconstruction
in both skeletally immature and mature populations have led to many studies investigating …

The anterior cruciate ligament is anchored to the femur and tibia via specialized interfaces
known as entheses. These play a critical role in ligament homeostasis and joint stability by …

Some decellularized musculoskeletal extracellular matrices (ECM) s derived from tissues
such as bone, tendon and fibrocartilaginous meniscus have already been clinical use for …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to put forth a precise landmark‐based technique
for reconstructing the three‐dimensional shape of human entheseal surfaces, to investigate …
