Abstract:The functional results with allografts that had not undergone irradiation or chemical sterilization were comparable to those with autografts in ACL revision surgery. Allografts represent a good alternative to autogenous patellar tendons in revision surgery.
“…4. We do agree with the authors that the sample size is small and that concurrent procedures on the meniscus would lead to an alteration in the rehabilitation protocol and influence the outcome [1,3].…”

“…Still viable resident cells in an autograft will be exposed to a low-nutrient environment may then potentially recruit participation from the extrinsic compartment. This may plausibly explain why autografts do not generally perform superiorly better than allografts [210,[241][242][243]. A promising approach to promote beneficial graft remodeling may be to functionalize the graft with bioactive molecules [244], however such approaches are still in their very early stages and lack clinical evidence of efficacy.…”
“…Nonetheless, availability issues and the unavoidable site morbidity that will only partially improve the properties of the originally injured tendon tissue [290][291][292][293] pushed the field towards allogeneic [294][295][296][297][298] alternatives. Clinical data indicated no functional difference between autograft and allograft intervention in ACL repair [299][300][301]; however MRI analysis favoured the autograft, as allograft intervention brought about a less mature neotissue [302]. The use of autografts in ACL reconstruction has been further reinforced with recent data indicating that allografts are almost 6.7 times more likely to fail, when compared to autografts [303].…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
