Bone-Albumin filling decreases donor site morbidity and enhances bone formation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with bone-patellar tendon-bone autografts

ConclusionsResults from the present study indicate that donor site pain, a disturbing long-term side effect of bone-patellar tendon-bone surgery, is significantly reduced if bone buildup in the patella and the tibia is augmented by serum albumin-coated bone allografts.
