This study presented the fibril ultrastructure of retrieved grafts from the reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The tapping mode images of the AFM were taken from different areas of the longitudinally cut grafts. Regular arrangement of collagen fibrils was found in certain areas of the,craft. In many areas. however, the fibrils were not well arranged in a single direction, with some smaller fibrils oriented vertically to larger parallel fibrils. The crossing and tangling of fibrils-in ACL grafts was well represented in the three-dimensional AFM image. This abnormality of graft Ultrastructure might indicate the possible alteration of the mechanical environment after ACL reconstruction. This study demonstrated the Suitability and importance of ultrastructure observation of ACL grafts by AFM. SCANNING 31: 19-23, 2009. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
