  2. 2. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery, aspects of graft choice, graft fixation and bone mineral loss

    Author : Sven Stener; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anterior cruciate ligament; Reconstruction; Revision; PLLA; Bone mineral areal mass; DEXA;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to measure bone mineral changes in the calcanei, hips and lumbar spine of patients reconstructed with bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) or hamstring tendon (HT) autografts following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Furthermore, the aim was to compare the clinical results after ACL revision reconstruction with either reharvested ipsilateral or contralateral BPTB autografts. READ MORE
