This study was done to investigate the microvascular system of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) using dogs. The objective was to study the microvascular architecture and the status of the barrier function of the capillary wall in the ACL by using microangiogram, scanning (SEM), and transmission elec
Progressive physiological and mechanical changes in the medial collateral ligament of the adult rabbit were investigated for as long as 48 weeks after disruption of the anterior cruciate ligament. Eighty-one New Zealand White rabbits were separated into experimental, sham-operated control, and norma
