Most surgical procedures for ACL reconstruction (ACLR) using hamstring tendon grafts require tendon-bone healing and graft maturation, however, the tendon-bone attachment is the weakest area in the surgically created bone tunnel in the early post-operative period. Therefore, acquiring secure tendon-bone integration is an essential task for earlier rehabilitation program and earlier return to work and sports. UR - https://atm.amegroups.org/article/view/33174
