Analysis of bony integration and bone tunnel morphology in the CT scan three month postoperatively. In the PF Group (a) all cases of the free autologous bone block (white arrow) showed bony integrated with homogenous spongeous bony structure and no sclerosis between bone block and tunnel wall. In the IF group (b) for all cases a tough-shaped bone tunnel dilatation immediately adjacent to the interference screw and a sclerosis zone between the inner bone tunnel and the interference screw was observed (black arrow).
