This study was designed to investigate the osteoconductivity and bioresorption of brushite calcium phosphate cement (CPC) in bone‐tendon interface healing after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Surgical reconstruction using grafted tendon in bone tunnel was performed bilaterally in 2...
