Graft tunnel healing is important for the successful reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament by using the hamstring tendon autograft. There are studies that intra graft tunnel Bone Marrow Mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) or intra graft tunnel Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) accelerated graft tunnel healing. This study aimed to investigate the effect of using BMSCs+VEGF injected intra-articular on graft tunnel healing. We reconstructed the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of 12 rabbits using an autograft hamstring tendon with and without intra-articular BMSCs+VEGF. Histological evaluation was done at 3 and 6 weeks after ACL reconstruction. On the surface between the graft and the bone tunnel obtained collagen fiber thickness or Sharpey fiber is significantly more than the control group (p< 0.05) in the evaluation of 3 weeks and 6 weeks either side of the tibia and the femur. To evaluate the progression of the treatment, treatment group and control group gained progression had significantly when compared to 3 weeks and 6 weeks. It can be concluded that intra-articular injection of VEGF+BMSCs can accelerate the integration of the graft tunnel from histology evaluation on 3 and 6 weeks.

The success of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction using a tendon graft is determined by integration in the bone tendon-graft interface on the bone tunnel. The use of stem cells and growth factors proved to accelerate the healing of the bone tendon-graft interface. The aim of this study was to inveestigate the difference of histology picture in the tendon-bone tunnel model after ACL reconstruction with intratunnel intravenous allogenic bone marrow mesenchymalstemcells (BM-MSCs) and intratunnel vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This research used Post-Test Only Control Group design with 20 rabbits divided into treatment group and control group. Each group performed histologic image evaluation (thickness of collagen fiber or sharpey fiber) at week 3 and 6. Evaluation of histology overview at week 3 and week 6 showed a significantly thicker thickness of collagen fiber or sharpey fiber in treatment group compared with control group (p <0.05). Intravenous administration of BM-SCs and VEGF after ACL reconstruction can speed healing of the bone tunnel significantly from week 3 and 6. The study by Faridyan et al has concluded that intravenous BM-SCs + VEGF increased ultimate tension strength in the bone-tendon interface significantly. In this study, intravenous administration of BM-SCs and VEGF gave histologic images showing acceleration of bone tunnel healing.Keywords:Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, allogenic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, vascular endothelial growth factor, graft tunnel healing, and Sharpey fiber.

Successful anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using tendon graft requires good and rapid integration between the tendon graft and the bone tunnel. The strength of the tendon-bone tunnel graft in the initial phase is very important to facilitate aggressive rehabilitation and as early as possible to support rapid recovery to normal activities. The objective of this study was to determine ultimate tension strength (UTS) on the femoral tendon-bone tunnel graft model after reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) by administering allogenic bone marrow mesenchymal stemcells (BM-MSCs) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) intratunnel in experimental animals. The design of this research was Post-Test Only Control Group Design using 24 rabbits divided into treatment and control group. Biomechanical evaluation was done at week 3 and 6. Evaluation at week 3 found ultimate tension strength of treatment group significantly higher than control (p <0,05). In the 6th week evaluation, Ultimate tension strength was found that the treatment group significantly higher than the control group (p <0.05). Ultimate tension strength at week 3 did not differ significantly with week 6 (p> 0.05). Intravenous administration of BM-MSCs and VEGF on ACL reconstruction increased ultimate tension strength in graft-bone tunnel significantly since week 3. The study of Ferdiansis et al using BM-MSCs and VEGF intraarticular, only showed a significant increase in ultimate tension strength in graft-bone tunnel since week 6. Comparison of this method indicates acceleration in incorporation of tendon graft with bone tunnel on intratunnel method better thaninvitro intraarticular method.Keywords : Anterior cruciate ligament, allogenic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, vascular endothelial growth factor and biomechanic study.
