Citrate-based mussel-inspired magnesium whitlockite composite adhesives augmented bone-to-tendon healing

Abstract

Citrate-based mussel-inspired whitlockite composite adhesives (CMWAs) were developed and administered to the bone–tendon interface in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. CMWAs could improve the initial bone–tendon bonding strength, promote the bony inward growth from the bone tunnel and enhance the chondrogenesis and osteogenesis of the bone–tendon interface, thus augmenting bone-to-tendon healing.
