## Abstract An isometer, a highly compliant spring‐scale device for measuring suture displacement, has been used intraoperatively by surgeons to select the optimal placement of the femoral tunnel for an anterior cruciate ligament graft. The isometer measures the displacement of a suture centered in
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to measure the __in vivo__ tensile behavior of a doublelooped semitendinosus and gracilis graft used to reconstruct a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the human knee. In 14 subjects, intraoperative tension was measured for each of the four graft bundles d
## Abstract The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) functions as a mechanical stabilizer in the tibiofemoral joint, and is the most commonly injured knee ligament. To improve the clinical outcome of tendon grafts used for ACL reconstructions, our long‐term goal is to promote graft–bone integration via
