## Abstract It has been hypothesized that load affects the mechanical properties of an anterior cruciate ligament graft while it remodels. The goal of this study was to use an existing goat model to evaluate the effect of intraoperative set force on the postoperative mechanical properties of an aut
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
## 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
