## Abstract The effects of ^60^Co gamma irradiation on the initial mechanical properties of the composite boneβpatellar tendonβbone unit (CU) and the tendon midsubstance (TM) were studied. Frozen specimens were exposed to either 2 or 3 Mrad of gamma irradiation. Paired frozen specimens served as in
## Abstract We studied the effects of gamma irradiation on the dimensions, mechanical and material properties, and mature hydroxypyridinium crosslink density of collagen in goat patellar tendonβbone specimens. Left and right patellar tendonβbone units were removed from 10 adult female goats and wer
