 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 14 γ-ray irradiation and non-irradiated human tendon biomechanical comparative study [Abstract] [Objective] To investigate the application of the most popular at home and abroad “γ” irradiation sterilization on human tendon biomechanics. [Method] 24 of equal length long head biceps tendon paired into two groups, A (12): non-irradiated group, B group (12): The 2.5Mrad “γ”-ray irradiation group. by WDW-3 020 Electronic Universal Testing Machine structural mechanics and mechanics of materials. [Results] The tensile test average length of tendon group A group B 99.15%, 93.46% maximum stretch capacity and stiffness was 95.27%, the maximum load energy is 93.60%, the maximum stress is 84.88%, 85.82% maximum strain, elastic modulus 90.40 %, the energy density of 66.73%, B group A group of non-irradiated group and control group comparison P lt;0.05, statistically significant, irradiation significantly reduced biomechanical parameters. [Conclusion] “γ” tendon strength after irradiation was sterilized reduced, whether to adopt the “γ” irradiation sterilized allograft tissue needs further study. [Keywords:] Biomechanics; person; cruciate ligament; transplantation; allograft; irradiation; tendon Abstract: [Objective] To explore the change of biomechanics about human tendon with “γ” irradiated which was universal used by domestic and foreign. [Methods] Twenty-four upper limb tendon of human with the same length were divided into two groups, group A (12): nonirradiated group, group B (12): 2.5 Mrad gamma irradiated group.Material properties and structural properties were determined with WDW-3020 electron universal testing machine. [Results] The mean length of the tendon was 99.15% of control , the elongation to failure was 93.46%, the linear stiffness was 95.27%, the energy to maximum force was 93.60%, the maximum stress was 84.88%, the strain to failure was 85.82%, the linear modulus was 90.40%, the strain energy density to maximum was 66.73%.
