Abstract
A new material was assessed in a patellar reattachment model in sheep and evaluated using histology and biomechanical testing. Overall, these materials showed they produced minimal reactivity histologically. The new material had higher failure strength overall compared to a previous study with the control material as repairs completed with PLG/CS/TCP anchors were significantly stronger compared to repairs with PLLA anchors.
