Adapting Mechanical Characterization of a Biodegradable Polymer to Physiological Approach of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Functions

Over the past decades, anterior cruciate ligament injuries have become a considerable public health issue. Due to specific physiological conditions such injuries often demand replacement surgery and can take up to two years to a complete recovery. Using biomaterials able to accelerate the healing process could represent a remarkable progress in the field. The main goal of this article is, therein, to evaluate the mechanical properties of...
