PRP Augmentation for ACL Reconstruction [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2015 Current research is investigating new methods to enhance tissue healing to speed up recovery time and decrease the risk of failure in Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstructive surgery. Biological augmentation is one of the most exploited strategies, in particular the application of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).

Changes in landing mechanics in patients following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction when wearing an extension constraint knee brace. [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is associated with a high incidence of second tears (graft tears and contralateral ACL tears). These secondary tears have been attributed to asymmetrical lower extremity mechanics.
