## Abstract The effect of strain rate on the mechanical properties of the rabbit anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and patellar tendon (PT) was evaluated. The medial portion of the ACL was loaded to tensile failure at rates of 0.003, 0.3, and 113 mm/s, and the middle third of the PT was loaded at ra
## Abstract The patellar tendon is the most commonly used graft source in reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament. The performance of a patellar tendon graft in such a reconstruction is largely related to the structural and functional differences between patellar tendons and anterior cruci
