Biomechanics of the ligaments of the human knee and of artificial ligaments
Copyright policy )Biomechanics of the ligaments of the human knee and of artificial ligaments
The treatment of serious sprains and chronic laxity of the knee calls for a knowledge of the mechanical properties of the stabilizing structures. The mechanical characteristics indicate an elasticity rate of from 21 to 30% for the cruciate ligaments and average of 11% for the lateral ligaments. Preservation methods markedly influence mechanical properties. In the case of chronic laxity, natural ligaments can be replaced by artificial ones. This comparative biomechanical study of natural and artificial ligaments provides a classification to help the user in his choice.
