ABSTRACT:
A tendon or ligament bioprosthesis comprised of a naturally occurring tendon or ligament isolated from an animal source, tanned with a bifunctional reagent capable of cross-linking biological tissue, at least one end of the tendon or ligament having attached thereto an intact decalcified chip of the bone from which the tendon or ligament was isolated. The presence of the decalcified bone chip provides a substrate which is receptive to the ingrowth of bone tissue when the bioprosthesis is implanted in a resected bone.
