Abstract
Purpose
The use of an extra-cellular matrix scaffold (ECM) combined with platelets to enhance healing of an ACL graft (“bio-enhanced ACL reconstruction”) has shown promise in animal models. However, the effects of platelet concentration on graft healing remains unknown. The objectives of this study were to determine if increasing the platelet concentration in the ECM scaffold would; 1) improve the graft biomechanical properties, and 2) decrease cartilage damage after surgery.
Methods
Fifty-five adolescent minipigs were randomized to 5 treatment groups; untreated ACL transection (n=10), conventional ACL reconstruction (n=15), and bio-enhanced ACL reconstruction using 1X (n=10), 3X (n=10) or 5X (n=10) platelet-rich plasma. The graft biomechanical properties, anteroposterior (AP) knee laxity, graft histology and macroscopic cartilage integrity were measured at 15 weeks.

Dorotka Goldstein
Dorotka was the youngest of three children in a Jewish family. Her father was the director of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in Warsaw and worked for a popular newspaper. An avid Zionist, he had traveled to Palestine.
1933-39: Dorotka's father established a soup kitchen in Warsaw for Jewish refugees who had fled from Germany. In September 1939 Dorotka was supposed to begin first grade when war broke out. Her father escaped to Vilna with other Jewish leaders. People were suffering, but she didn't understand why. She was content with her playmates and her dolls.
1940-44: After Dorotka's father brought the family to Vilna, the Germans killed him and deported Dorotka, her mother and sister to the Stutthof camp. Her mother died slowly of hunger. When Dorotka and her sister were sent to be gassed, a German saved Dorotka, saying, "Look at this rotten Jewish child; she has such beautiful eyes." Her sister waved so Dorotka wouldn't follow her. When the Soviets neared Stutthof, two Germans with machine guns shot everyone in her barracks. Lying sick on her tummy and weigh
