Denti M, Vetere DL, Bandi M, Volpi P.
Abstract
An account of a prospective study of anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions with the bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft (BPTB) and the doubled semitendinosus-gracilis autograft (ST-GR) is given in 39 patients and 22 patients, respectively...
Revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: causes of failure, surgical technique, and clinical results.
Denti M, Lo Vetere D, Bait C, Schönhuber H, Melegati G, Volpi P.
Abstract

Melegati G, Tornese D, Bandi M, Volpi P, Schonhuber H, Denti M.
Abstract
To evaluate the effects of a rehabilitation brace locked in extension for the first week on the recovery of full extension after ACL reconstruction we compared two groups of subjects who underwent ACL bone-patellar tendon-bone reconstruction....
