Transplanting ligament with indirect dead point and implanting method
By introducing a synergistic structure of indirect and direct insertion points into the transplanted ligament, the problems of abnormal joint movement and fixation failure caused by the failure to simulate indirect insertion points in existing technologies are solved, resulting in better joint movement recovery and stability.

AI Technical Summary
Current ligament transplant designs only reconstruct the direct insertion point, without considering the structure and function of the indirect insertion point, leading to problems such as joint kinematic abnormalities, osteoarthritis, enlarged bone tunnels, and fixation failure.
A graft ligament with indirect insertion points is designed, including direct and indirect insertion points on the femoral and tibial sides. It is directly connected to the bone surface through various fixation methods to simulate the morphology and function of the native ACL-bone interface, thereby increasing the contact area and connection stability.
It restores the normal kinematics of the joint, reduces the risk of osteoarthritis, decreases the relative movement between the transplanted ligament and bone and fixation failure, and improves fixation stability and postoperative recovery.
