  1. Significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05)
  2. The CaP group underwent single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with a calcium phosphate-hybridized graft, while the conventional group underwent reconstruction with a conventional tendon graft
  3. The arthroscopic appearance of the synovium coverage of each graft was graded as A (completely covered), B (partially covered), or C (almost uncovered)
