Abstract:

In view of large clinical demand for artificial ligament (AL) products and high elimination rate, the present work reports on research where eleven AL products were investigated comprehensively on their geometric features, textures, and surface morphology. In addition, failure mechanisms of a typical product Stryker?-Meadox were explored in terms of mechanical property, fiber morphology and biodegradation through analysis of explants and virgin samples. The results show that the existing AL products have various structures and different shapes, which is related to their clinical indications, and that the surface abrasion of the samples and internal structural changes of the polymers might be the leading causes of the failure after long-term implantation. The findings of this work provide some insights into optimizing the existing AL products.

Key words: medical textile, artificial ligament, anterior cruciate ligament, explant, failure mechanisms
