RUNX1-upregulated BMSCs elevates biomechanical strength after ACL reconstruction. A–F Procedures for applying the BMSCs infected with LV-NC or LV-RUNX1 sheet to the bone tunnel during ACL reconstruction. A, B Harvest the native tendon as the tendon graft. C, D Create the femoral and tibial bone tunnels. E Insert the tendon graft into both bone tunnels. F Fix the tendon graft with suture tied over the neighboring periosteum. G Ultimate load of the tendon graft. H Stiffness of the tendon graft. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01; NS not significant
