We have performed an arthroscopic and histological study of the remodelling process of allogeneic tendons transplanted into the human knee as anterior cruciate ligament substitutes. Arthroscopic observations from six weeks to 55 months after operation showed that the grafts were viable, and that early surface hypervascularity subsided with time; moreover, these appearances remained unchanged from 11 months postoperatively onwards. Histological studies from three to 55 months after operation showed that all the grafts were infiltrated with fibroblasts, and that cellularity in their substance reduced with time, remaining unchanged from 18 months onwards; the collagen bundles were aligned as in a normal ligament from six months onwards. These findings suggest that the grafts reach maturity within the first 18 months and remain unchanged as viable ligaments thereafter.
