Mechanical Properties of Canine Patella‐Ligament‐Tibia Segment

To test the ex vivo mechanical properties of canine patella-ligament-tibia (PLT) segment and establish the relationship between donor size and PLT dimensions to the mechanical properties of PLT grafts.Ex vivo mechanical testing study.Canine PLT segments (n = 21 dogs; 42 PLT).Morphometric measurements of PLT segments were taken from computed tomography (CT) images and compared with results obtained using calipers. PLT were tested to failure at a...
