Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of patellar tendon allografts that have undergone the BioCleanse process
Detailed Description: The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of patellar tendon allografts that have undergone the BioCleanse process

You are being asked to volunteer in a research study The purpose of this study is to compare the different ways of cleaning allograft tendons used to replace the main ligament in the knee The anterior cruciate ligament ACL is the main ligament in the knee that your doctor will replace in your surgery The allograft tendons come from other people who have donated a tendon from the front of the knee after they died

The three ways of cleaning the tendons that will be used in this study are BioCleanse irradiation and aseptic Aseptic uses clean conditions when preparing the tissue for surgery sometimes with a chemical bath BioCleanse is a way of cleaning the tendon physically and chemically while irradiation uses gamma rays The goal is to clean the tendons to make them safer for the patients without weakening the tendon when put in the knee
