title: MRI evaluation of the tibial tunnel/screw/tendon interface after ACL reconstruction using a bioabsorbable interference screw.
abstract: This article describes the complex relationship between graft, bone, and biologic interference screw. Orthopedic surgeons have just begun to understand this complex biologic relationship. Clinical outcome measurements tell very little about the biology in bone tunnels.
