Notes:
Calcium phosphate (CaP) hybridized to a whole tendon graft delayed cellrepopulation in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in rabbits. However, a tendongraft masked with an adhesive tape at the intra-articular (IA) portion to prevent CaPhybridization did not delay cell repopulation. Synovial tissues can adhere to the tendon graft andcan invade the tendon graft masked at the IA portion. The masking induced an effect similar tothat of the unhybridized tendon graft. The CaP hybridized tendon grafts masked at the IA portionshowed cell repopulation 2 weeks earlier than the unmasked CaP hybridized tendon grafts
