Bone Mesenchymal Stem Cells Contribute to Ligament Regeneration and Graft–Bone Healing after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with Silk–Collagen Scaffold

Table 1

Micro-CT evaluations (). BV/TV, Tb.Th, and BMD increased significantly more in the S/C group than in the S group at 4 weeks after reconstruction surgery. Significant increases in Tb.Th and BMD were observed in the S/C group relative to the S group. indicates a notable distinction between the two comparison groups.
