Different tendons are chosen for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction based on perceived advantages and disadvantages, yet there is a relative paucity of information regarding biologic responsiveness of commonly used tendon grafts to mechanical strain. To evaluate the in vitro responses of graft fibroblasts derived from tendons used for ACL reconstruction to clinically relevant strain levels. Controlled laboratory study. Twelve quadriceps tendons (QTs), 12 patellar tendons (PTs), and 9 hamstring tendons (HTs) w
