Surgical Retrieval, Isolation and In vitro Expansion of Human Anterior Cruciate Ligament-derived Cells for Tissue Engineering Applications

Abstract:
The total injury experience for a ski season at Jackson Hole, Wyoming indicates that 24% of all patient visits were for ligamentous injuries to the knee. First degree sprains of the medial collateral ligament predominated, with 61.5% of all knee sprains occurring on the left side. Heavy, deep, unpacked snow conditions may predispose to this type of injury, and modern ski bindings may be unable to protect skiers from knee ligament problems. Pre-ski conditioning and proper technique appear to be the best defense.

Anterior Compartment
The quadriceps femoris, the most visible muscle of the anterior compartment, is integral for leg extension and thigh flexion. It is formed by merging four distinct muscles — the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris. The quadriceps tendon, a shared tendon of the four quadriceps muscles, is affixed to...
