From: Additional suture augmentation to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring autografts bring no benefits to clinical results, graft maturation and graft-bone interface healing

Fig. 1

The evaluation of autograft maturation and graft-bone interface healing on MRI images. A. The SI of hamstring autograft (yellow circle) was obtained on the proximal, medial and distal segments of graft. SNQ = (SI of hamstring autograft - SI of quadriceps tendon) / SI of background. B and C. The anterior and posterior SI of graft-bone interface at femoral tunnel and 1/3 proximal tibial tunnel (yellow imaginary line) was obtained and classified into 4 grades. SI: signal intensity, SNQ: signal/noise quotient
