Abstract: Three-dimensional configuration of the scoliotic spine was mathematically expressed by a spatial curve passing through each vertebral centroid (“vertebral body line”). Three-dimensional location of ...

Abstract: Effects of the overstressing induced by the harvest of grafts from the patellar tendon on the mechanical properties and morphometry of remaining tendon were studied using a rabbit model. The ...

Abstract: The mechanical and structural properties of the patellar tendon fascicle-bone units of rabbit knees were determined by tensile tests, particularly focusing on their local differences. There were ...

Abstract: Mechanical properties of the stress-shielded patellar tendon were studied in the rabbit knee. Stress shielding was accomplished by stretching a stainless-steel wire installed between the patella ...
