[Evaluation of the MRI Findings on a Tendon Graft after the Anatomic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Patients with Versus without the Application of Platelet-Rich Fibrin - Results of the Prospective Randomised Study].
CONCLUSIONS Our study proved a higher percentage of ligamentisation and healed grafts into the bone as well as a lower occurrence of graft failure in the group with PRF compared to the group without the PRF application, namely both in the 6 th and in the 12 th month. Nonetheless, the differences between the two groups assessed at the same time were not statistically significant. Key words: anterior cruciate ligament, arthroscopy, anatomic ACL reconstruction, magnetic resonance imaging of the graft, platelet-rich fibrin, graft healing, MRI signal intensity of the graft.
