Incorporation of Whipstitch Suture in Tibial Interference Fixation Improves Pullout in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Soft Tissue Grafts
Abstract
Interference screw fixation of soft tissue grafts is commonly used in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to determine whether including suture material at the graft–screw interface affects ultimate fixation strength of soft tissue grafts using a tibialis anterior tendon allograft model.
