Graft Healing
Conditions
Brief summary
* Muscle derived stem cell is a better source of stem cells than a tendon tissue * Preservation of muscle derived stem cell may enhance bone-tendon integration and ligamentization of ACL hamstring graft
Interventions
Muscle preservation during graft preparation of hamstring graft
No muscle preservation during graft preparation of hamstring graft
