The use of allograft. Techniques and results

Clin Sports Med. 1993 Oct;12(4):757-70.

Abstract

There are several advantages to allograft use for ACL reconstruction. Bone-patella, tendon-bone, and achilles tendon allografts are routinely used. The one-incision endoscopic technique is described. Very few comparative studies exist in the current literature, but clinical results with allograft tissues appear to be similar to those of autograft use.
