Biomechanical evaluation of an allograft fixation system for ACL reconstruction

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical stability, especially graft slippage of an allograft screw and a conventional interference screw for tibial implant fixation in ACL reconstruction. Twenty-four paired human proximal tibia specimens underwent ACL reconstruction, with the graft in one specimen of each pair fixed using the allograft screw and the other using the conventional interference screw. Specimens were subjected to cyclic tensile loading until failure. The two fixation methods did … Show more

“…Compared to the previous study analyzing the biomechanical stability of the allograft interference screw in human proximal tibia specimens [40], the ultimate failure load measured here is higher (235.08 ± 88.54 N compared to 174.9 ± 82.9 N). Again, this was to be expected, as bovine or porcine models tend to over estimate ultimate failure load of the graft fixation, hence the results achieved of in vitro animal models cannot be directly transferred to a clinical setting [47].…”

“…The observed mean insertion torque of the interference screw during graft fixation was 1125 ± 369.58 N mm and, therefore, slightly higher than the insertion torque of 822 ± 289 N mm reported in a recent study analyzing the biomechanical stability of the allograft interference screw in human proximal tibia specimens [40]. This was to be expected, since the insertion torques in bovine bone are generally higher than in human bone [41].…”
