Interface tissue engineering aims to create grafts that integrate different tissues and implants. This review explores strategies and current efforts for soft tissue to bone integration, using the anterior cruciate ligament as an example.

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • Achieving seamless integration between different tissue types, such as soft tissue and bone, remains a significant challenge in reconstructive medicine.
  • Current fixation methods for soft tissue to bone attachment often result in suboptimal healing and long-term implant failure.
  • The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) insertion site serves as a critical model for studying soft tissue to bone integration due to its clinical importance and complex biological interface.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical significance and challenges associated with soft tissue to bone integration.
  • To discuss current tissue engineering strategies and fixation methods for improving implant integration.
  • To explore novel approaches, including multiphased scaffolds and co-culture systems, for enhanced interface tissue engineering.
