Introduction: Although there is increasing evidence for the successful use of local vancomycin applied by soaked compresses during ACL reconstruction, there are still little data on its microbiological and biomechanical effects. Furthermore, exact dosage of vancomycin with respect to tendon stability and microbiological effectivity is still unknown.
Materials And Methods: 63 porcine flexor digitorum profundus tendons were harvested under sterile conditions from fresh cadaver legs.
