Bridge-enhanced ACL repair (using a bio-engineered bridging scaffold injected with the patient's own blood).Allografts (using bone or tissue from another body, either a cadaver or a live donor).Autografts (employing bone or tissue harvested from the patient's body).Graft options for ACL reconstruction include: The two bright objects in this X-ray are screws in the thigh bone (above) and shin bone (below). The graft is then pulled through the tunnel and fixated with screws. Grafts are inserted through a tunnel that is drilled through the shin bone (tibia) and thigh bone (femur). An increased Q angle and hormonal differences are a few examples of the gender disparity in ACL tear rates. ACL injuries account for a quarter of all knee injuries in the high school population. ACL injury is 4-6 times higher in females than in males. However, non-contact tears typically occur during the following movements: decelerating, cutting, or landing from a jump. ACL injuries can be categorized into groups- contact and non-contact based on the nature of the injury Contact injuries occur when a person or object come into contact with the knee causing the ligament to tear. Around $500 million health care dollar will come from ACL injuries. 1 in every 3,000 American suffers from a ruptured ACL and between 100,000 and 300,000 reconstruction surgeries will be performed each year in the United States. Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACL) surgery is a common intervention. Anterior Cruciate Ligament damage is a very common injury, especially among athletes. The Anterior Cruciate Ligament is the ligament that keeps the knee stable.
