Tensile strength of spinal ligaments

Spinal ligaments from 41 fresh human male cadavers were tested. The ligaments were tested in situ by sectioning all elements except the one under study. The force deflection curves demonstrated a sigmoidal shape, and the point at which an increase in deflection was obtained with decreasing force was...

Zusammenfassung:	Spinal ligaments from 41 fresh human male cadavers were tested. The ligaments were tested in situ by sectioning all elements except the one under study. The force deflection curves demonstrated a sigmoidal shape, and the point at which an increase in deflection was obtained with decreasing force was taken as failure. The force and deformation at failure are shown for each ligament as a function of spinal level.
