Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with allograft may vary in instrumented laxity compared with autograft. T helper (Th) cells (CCR4+CCR6+Th) and regulatory T (Treg) cells are important in the early stage of immunologic reactions. It is unknown whether the ratio of CCR4+CCR6+Th to Treg is imbalanced and if it correlates with early postoperative laxity after ACL allograft...
