ACL injury: the clinical problem -- ACL injury epidemiology / Patrick Vavken and Martha M. Murray -- History of ACL treatment and current gold standard of care / Martha M. Murray -- ACL clinical outcomes / Carolyn Hettrich and Kurt P. Spindler -- ACL treatment in the skeletally immature patient / Patrick Vavken and Martha M. Murray -- ACL injury: the biologic problem -- The biology of the normal ACL / Martha M. Murray and Braden C. Fleming -- The role of inflammation and blood cells in wound healing / Linda H. Chao and Martha M. Murray -- The ACL response to injury / Martha M. Murray -- The biology of impaired healing of joint issues / Martha M. Murray -- Translational medicine: in vitro and in vivo models -- Translational medicine / Patrick Vavken -- In vitro models of ACL injury / Patrick Vavken and Braden C. Fleming -- In vivo models of ACL injury (central defect, porcine, ovine, canine) / Benedikt Proffen and Martha M. Murray -- Tissue engineering of ligaments and tendons / Patrick Vavken and Martha M. Murray -- Outcome assessment for ACL tissue engineering / Patrick Vavken, Martha M. Murray, and Braden C. Fleming -- Stimulating healing of the ACL using tissue engineering -- Scaffolds and biologic additives for ACL surgery / Ryu Yoshida and Martha M. Murray -- Use of biologics to treat partial ACL tears / Martha M. Murray -- Can we get a complete ACL tear to heal? / Carla Haslauer and Martha M. Murray -- The effects of platelets and their concentration on ACL healing / Patrick Vavken -- The effects of WBC and RBCs on ligament healing / Linda Chao and Martha M. Murray -- Safety of the bioenhanced repair / Elise M. Magarian and Martha M. Murray -- Re-innervation and revascularization in engineered ACL healing / Benedikt Proffen and Martha M. Murray -- Bio-enhancement of ACL graft healing / Braden C. Fleming -- The effects of age and skeletal maturity on healing of the anterior cruciate ligament / Linda H. Chao and Martha M. Murray.
"ACL injuries affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of people each year. Treatment is far from perfect, and physicians and patients face challenges such as high failure rates in adolescent athletes and the inability to slow the accelerated progression of arthritis after an ACL rupture, for example. The ACL handbook takes a complete view of ACL injuries and treatments, discussing normal ACL and knee mechanics, the body's response to ACL injury, [and the] development of new treatment methods. Ideal for orthopedists, sports medicine physicians, and physical therapists, The ACL handbook is a unique resource for information on the basic and applied science of ACL injury, repair, and the future of treatment"--back cover.
