ABSTRACT
Objective:
To review the current status and progress of sterilization and preservation for allograft in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.Methods:
The related literature about the sterilization and preservation of allografts in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was extensively reviewed and summarized.Results:
There are many sterilization methods for allografts, the most commonly used method is γ-ray irradiation, but the optimal irradiation dose is still unclear. Electron beam irradiation is also available, but excessive dose is harmful to graft shaping. A combined sterilization method combining physics and chemistry methods is still being explored. Cryopreservation is the most commonly used method of preservation. In order to reduce the influence of crystals, the principle of "slow cooling and rapid rewarming" should be adhered to as far as possible.Conclusion:
The processing methods of allograft can affect the effectiveness of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The clinical doctors should consider the sterilization and preservation methods in practice.
