Abstract:Introduction
The escalating incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, particularly among adolescents, is a pressing concern. The study of ACL biomechanics in this demographic presents challenges due to the scarcity of cadaveric specimens. This research endeavors to validate the adolescent porcine stifle joint as a fitting model for ACL studies.
Methods
We conducted experiments on 30 fresh porcine stifle knee joints. (Breed: Yorkshire,… Show more
