Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Successful anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction requires secure healing between tendon and bone. HYPOTHESIS: Bone morphogenetic protein-signaling plays an important role in tendon-to-bone healing. rhBMP-2, a powerful osteoinductive agent, can improve tendon-bone interdigitation.
