## Abstract The early histological, biochemical, and biomechanical characteristics of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) were determined in a rabbit model of acute hemarthrosis. The ACLs of 19 rabbits were given seven consecutive daily knee injections of 2 ml of fresh autologous blood, and then c
## Abstract The effects of immobilization of the knee joint on the mechanical and ultrastructural properties of the anterior cruciate ligament have not been well documented. Our goal was to determine these effects in a rabbit model and to assess the effect of knee flexion angle during immobilizatio
