The preserved mechanoreceptor and vascularity of the remnant ACL are considered to provide additional biological benefits. Although enhanced knee joint proprioception in ACL augmented patients has been previously reported, there is no study assessing biological healing advantages of the graft after the ACL augmentation procedure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Hypothesis:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Selected ACL augmentation for partial tears can accelerate the healing process of the grafted tendon, which promotes better biomechanical recovery of the tendon, compared with conventional ACL reconstruction of complete tears.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Controlled laboratory study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Two rat models were established in this study: an ACL augmentation partial tear model and conventional ACL reconstruction for a complete tear. Biological assessments of cellularity and angiogenesis were measured by hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunostaining, respectively. Additionally, rat-specific type III collagen and \u03b1-smooth muscle actin were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining to analyze the healing process, whereas anti-rat neurofilament antigen was assessed to examine proprioceptive recovery. Biological assessments of the augmented and reconstructed grafts were conducted postoperatively at week 2, whereas biomechanical testing was performed postoperatively at week 8.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An increase in cellularity and angiogenesis was observed in the augmented grafts compared with the conventionally reconstructed grafts. Also, increased amounts of rat-specific type III collagen, \u03b1-smooth muscle actin, and anti-rat neurofilament antigen were expressed in the augmented grafts. Biomechanical testing showed that failure to load was significantly higher in the augmentation group compared with the conventional reconstruction group (augmentation, 15.9 \u00b1 1.0; reconstruction,
