## Abstract Growth factors have been shown to stimulate fibroblast division and thus may influence ligament healing. We analyzed the effects of individual growth factors on the proliferation of fibroblasts from the medial collateral and anterior cruciate ligaments of the rabbit __in vitro__ in orde

## Abstract We studied the healing response of a devitalized anterior cruciate ligament to a treatment of initial anteriorβposterior joint translation in goats. Devitalization and devascularization were achieved by five successive freezeβthaw cycles. Anteriorβposterior translation was surgically al
## Abstract We are developing a decellularized boneβanterior cruciate ligament (ACL)βbone allograft for treatment of ACL disruption in young or active patients. This study demonstrates the feasibility of seeding decellularized ACL tissue with primary ligament fibroblasts. Porcine ACLs were decellul
