Evaluation of a magnesium ring device for mechanical augmentation of a ruptured ACL: Finite element analysis

This study offers new knowledge on the function of a ring device to mechanically augment ACL repair in order to improve its healing. Quantitative data on loading levels in the repaired ACL and its insertion site that led to its healing could be used as basis for developing novel devices to mechanically augment the healing of ACL in humans.
