    The study assessed bone microstructure at ACL footprints post-reconstruction in 26 patients to understand healing and integration.

  • 2

    Bone microstructure was analyzed using micro-CT, focusing on femoral and tibial bone blocks collected during ACL reconstruction.

  • 3

    Histomorphometric parameters, including bone volume fraction and trabecular thickness, were calculated for both femoral and tibial samples.

  • 4

    The research highlights the impact of chronic diseases and BMI on bone tissue characteristics in ACL reconstruction outcomes.

  • 5

    Findings suggest that bone microstructure at ACL attachment sites is similar post-reconstruction and does not affect long-term outcomes.
