Considering that there was no statistically significant difference in torque to failure between the two groups of tibiae, the site for tibial bone graft can be selected based on the shape of the cortical graft necessary for each specific surgery.

The proposed core weave stitch provides functional strength similar to that of the Krackow stitch for tendon repair with reduced suture material on the tendon surface.

Though this study cannot be extrapolated directly to the clinical setting, the longer graft tested in this study may raise concerns regarding the strength of the tibia after graft removal.
