Incorporation of PET fibers into the bioengineered ACL matrix exhibits enhanced mechanical properties at 12 wk and is comparable to the native rabbit ACL. (A) Quantification of peak load (Left) and stiffness (Right) of primary midsubstance ruptures. Mean peak load and stiffness ± SD (sample size indicated in panel). (B) Quantification of bone tunnel pull-out load (Left) and stiffness (Right) of the bioengineered ACL matrices. Mean pull-out load and stiffness ± SD (sample size indicated in panel). (C) Quantification of peak load (Left) and stiffness (Right) of secondary midsubstance ruptures. Mean peak load and stiffness ± SD (sample size indicated in panel); *P < 0.05, one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post hoc test with native rabbit ACL as the control.
