Edwards School of Medicine\u00a0demonstrates\u00a0promising outcomes for patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using an advanced technique that combines biologic augmentation with internal stabilization.<\/p>\n<p>The study, published\u00a0April 2026 in\u00a0<em>Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation,\u00a0<\/em>evaluated patient outcomes following ACL reconstruction using a quadriceps tendon autograft enhanced with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), demineralized bone matrix and suture tape augmentation. Researchers conducted a retrospective review of patients who completed at least two years of follow-up post surgery. Patients in the study were primarily young and active, with an average age of 19.4 years.<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mt-6 grid grid-cols-1 gap-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n    \n\n<a\n\thref=\"https:\/\/arthroscopyjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/ars2.70023\"\n\t\ttarget=\"_self\"\n\tclass=\"right-arrow arrow--green arrow--vertical\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t<span class=\"arrow-text\">Read the Full <span class=\"arrow-nowrap\">Study<span class=\"arrow-wrapper\"><span class=\"arrow\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/a>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t<div\n\t\t\n\t\tclass=\"herdpress-block wp-block-herdpress-basic-content-media has-green-background-color has-background relative herdpress-basic     \"\n\t>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\n<div\n    data-media-side=\"right\"\n    class=\"group  z-10 relative z-[5]\"\n        >\n    <div class=\"relative w-full mx-auto max-w-440 h-full first:mt-0 mt-8 lg:mt-16 last:mb-0 mb-8\">\n        <div class=\"relative lg:mb-16 grid grid-cols-1 lg:grid-cols-2 gap-8 lg:gap-12\">\n            <div class=\"relative flex items-start justify-center h-full lg:group-data-[media-side=right]:order-2 lg:group-data-[media-side=left]:order-1 px-6\">\n                                    <div class=\"relative w-full\">\n                                                    <img decoding=\"async\"\n                                src=\"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/our-research\/files\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_338878164-800x0-c-default.jpeg\"\n                                srcset=\"\n                                    https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/our-research\/files\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_338878164-480x0-c-default.jpeg 480w,\n                                    https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/our-research\/files\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_338878164-768x0-c-default.jpeg 768w,\n                                    https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/our-research\/files\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_338878164-1024x0-c-default.jpeg 1024w,\n                                    https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/our-research\/files\/2026\/04\/AdobeStock_338878164-1600x0-c-default.jpeg 1600w\n                                \"\n                                sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 50vw\"\n                                alt=\"Woman doctor compare patient chest x-ray and CT scan film before treatment.Image lung at radiology department in hospital.Covid-19 scan body xray test detection for covid virus epidemic spread concept.\"\n                                class=\"w-full h-auto object-contain\"\n                                style=\"object-position: 50% 50%;\"\n                            \/>\n                                                            <div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"absolute top-6 bottom-6 left-6 right-6 lg:top-8 lg:bottom-8 md:left-8 md:right-8 border border-green rounded-lg pointer-events-none\"><\/div>\n                                                                        <\/div>\n                \n                \n\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"relative order-1 lg:group-data-[media-side=right]:order-1 lg:group-data-[media-side=left]:order-2 lg:pt-0 lg:pb-0 flex flex-col justify-center px-6\">\n                \n                \t\t\t\t\t<h2  class=\"block__heading\">Researchers explore potential link between COVID-19 and lung cancer risk<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n                \n                <div class=\"alternator__content styled-list no-img text-gray-700\">\n                    <p>New findings from researchers at the Marshall University Joan C.
