title: [Resistance to traction of the periarticular ligaments and tendons of the knee].
abstract: The authors present a methodical study concerning traction strength of the ligaments and the periarticular tendons of the knee. The straining potential and the mechanical strength of these elements are made clear. This study permits applications in chronic laxities of the knee by giving the mechanical value of the different kinds of tendon reconstruction.
