Abstract
A key step during the synthesis of collagen constructs is the incubation of monomeric collagen in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) to promote fibrillogenesis in the collagen network. Optimal PBS-treatment conditions for monomeric collagen solutions to induce gelation are well establishe...

Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using autologous tendons (BTB patellar tendon, hamstrings, quadriceps tendon) in an implant-free fixation technique is becoming more and more popular due to biological and economical reasons. In 1987 an implant-free press-fit fixation technique of a BT...

Press-fit fixation of anterior cruciate ligament autografts is an interesting technique because no hardware is necessary. A total of 168 cadaveric human patellar, quadriceps and hamstring tendons (average age 49.2 +/- 18.5 years) were used and 15 different fixation methods were tested. Constructs we...

Abstract
Ultrasound can be used to study tendon movement. However, measurement of tendon movement is mostly based on manual tracking of anatomical landmarks such as the musculo-tendinous junction, limiting the applicability to a small number of muscle-tendon units.
