Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are among the most frequent and severe ligament injuries, with the number of ACL reconstruction performed increasing year by year. Current 'gold standard' treatment for ACL repair is to use a bone patella tendon bone (BPTB) autograft reconstruction. However substantial donor site morbidity accompanies use of this graft, restricting clinical application with a BPTB reconstruction in favor of less effective approaches. Solutions such as allograft, xenograft, or synthetic grafts have been employed toward avoiding donor site morbidity, but outcomes have been viewed as inferior on account of immune response, material and mechanical mismatch, and numerous other reasons. Some successful and promising preclinical results indicate that tissue engineering approaches may yield a superior solution to the dilemma of graft choice in ACL reconstruction, and more generally address what is regarded as the largest challenge to ACL reconstruction, namely achieving robust integration of an ACL graft to host bone. The present work develops and describes a strategy of using a silk-based artificial ligament with bone-like ends (TCP/PEEK anchor) for ACL reconstruction, a design that is biomimetic with a BPTB autograft. A silk-based artificial ACL with mechanical properties similar to the human ACL was developed and verified by cyclic mechanical loading. An optimized geometric design of a complementary TCP/PEEK anchor was similarly derived from biomechanical testing. The efficacy of this combined (hybrid) graft with a silk ligament scaffold anchored by a TCP/PEEK device was tested and evaluated in large animal preclinical model of ACL reconstruction. The results showed that the concept of combination TCP and PEEK for ACL graft fixation is both feasible and effective. The present study thus lays a solid foundation for translation of these concepts to clinical application in veterinary and eventually human medicine.
