## Abstract We wished to determine the optimal tensions required to restore normal joint laxity to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)βdeficient knees using a braided polyethylene ACL prosthesis (PACL). In 10 cadaveric specimens, we measured the anteroposterior (AP) laxity of the intact knee at 10Β°, 3
Traction tests were performed on the bovine anterior cruciate ligament-bone complex at seven strain rates (0.1, 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40%/s). Corresponding stress-strain curves showed that, for a given strain level, the stress increased with the augmentation of the strain rate. This phenomenon was impor
