The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most studied structures of the human musculoskeletal system, being the subject of many anatomic and biomechanical studies.

Tendons and Ligaments
Chronic musculoskeletal diseases, such as tendinopathy, are largely refractory to therapy. Healing capabilities are restricted because of the acellular, aneural, and avascular nature of tendons.
PRP and BM-MSC's in Tendon Healing Feb 2017A normal healing response after ligament and tendon rupture results in scar formation and an inferior tissue that fails to emulate its original structure, composition, and function. More regenerative healing (closer to the original) can be obtained through early suppression of inflammatory cells and associated cytokines
MSC's in Tendon-Ligament HealingPatellar tendinosis (PT) is a clinical syndrome characterised by anterior knee pain and tenderness at the insertion of the patellar tendon on the inferior pole of the patella. Commonly known as “jumper’s knee”, PT causes pain following repetitive running or jumping exercises, which usually settles with rest but returns when exercise is recommenced).
PRP in Tx of Refractory Patellar Tendinosis Sept. 2017In Greek mythology, Achilles, the demigod hero, is almost invulnerable except for his Achilles heel, whose injury resulted in his death. How could a tendon injury take such a prominent place in Greek mythology? This injury was obviously such a crucial and inexplicable event that it was extensively honored in the legendary Iliad of Homer.
Stem Cells in Achilles Tendon Healing 2017Tendon pathologies are a group of musculoskeletal conditions frequently seen in clinical practice. Tendons convey forces from muscles to bone and are repetitively exposed to mechanical loading. Per se, they are vulnerable to pathological transformations, known as tendinopathy.
BMAC in Tendon PathologyTendinopathy is the most common musculoskeletal complaint in patients seeking medical care.1 The most common sites of presentation include the elbow, rotator cuff, Achilles tendon and patellar tendon.
PRP Efficacy in TendinopathyCartilage disorders, including focal cartilage lesions, are among the most common clinical problems in orthopedic practice. Left untreated, large focal lesions may result in progression to osteoarthritis, with tremendous impact on the quality of life of affected individuals.
