Figure 5. — Linear stiffness of the ACL reconstruction procedure at 6 months of healing as a function of (A) total LMI, (B) cellular subscore, (C) collagen subscore, and (D) vessel subscore. Dotted lines are 95% confidence intervals for slope. A greater organization of vessels correlated with a higher maximum load for the graft at the 6-month time point. ACL, anterior cruciate ligament; LMI, Ligament Maturity Index.
