“… 4 , 5 For surgical success, ACLR requires biological maturation and remodelling of the tendon graft into a ligamentous ACL-like structure, which is often referred to as the ligamentization process. 6 - 10 It has been reported that the implanted tendon graft undergoes ligamentization beyond one year and does not reach full maturity until two years after surgery. 11 , 12 However, full restoration of either the biological or mechanical properties of the normal ACL has never been achieved.…”

“…Recent studies have promoted the use of autografts for ACL reconstruction for young active patients because of their superior healing capacity compared with allografts [ 6 ]. Among available autograft options, the hamstring tendon (semitendinosus tendon and gracilis tendon) is one of the most commonly used graft types for ACL reconstruction because of low harvest-site morbidity compared with the patellar tendon [ 7 , 8 , 9 ]. A tendon graft requires two critical biological healing processes for successful ACL reconstruction: (1) tendon-to-bone integration, and (2) intra-articular graft ligamentization [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ].…”

“…Any ACL graft, whether an autograft or allograft, should have sufficient length and width to accommodate proper positioning in the graft placement process to foster the best patient outcomes. 5 , 6 …”
