Abstract: The tendon/ligament-to-bone transition (enthesis) is a highly specialized interphase tissue with structural gradients of extracellular matrix composition, collagen molecule alignment and mineralization. These structural features are essential for enthesis function, but are often not regenerated… read more here.

Abstract: Absence of ligament-bone healing due to poor bioactivity and hyperplasia of fibrous tissue caused by immune response severely impairs ligament grafts' functional duration in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. While osteogenic modification is a popular… read more here.

Abstract: The interface between materials with mismatched elastic moduli is failure-prone due to singular stress concentrations that could develop at the interface. Yet most ligaments tear at mid-substance and not at the ligament-bone interface. Current physiological… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000008955
Abstract: Background: Numerous surgical reconstructive techniques have been described for chronic scapholunate and lunotriquetral interosseous ligament instability. Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed 16 consecutive patients who underwent bone-ligament-bone reconstruction for scapholunate or lunotriquetral intraosseous ligament predynamic… read more here.
