Summary
A higher porosity of the graft fabric could certainly improve the healing, that is the incorporation of the entire graft in a connective tissue body and subsequently in an osseous matrix, of aramide cords (KEVLAR {R}), used as a cruciate knee ligament substitute in the sheep.
Accelerated healing could probably also reduce biodegradation of superficial aramide fibers, through the early replacement of macrophages by connective tissue and osteoprogenitor cells.
