title: [A comparative analysis of tension properties of the coracoclavicular ligament and a carbon fiber implant (preliminary investigation)].
abstract: The results of comparative analysis of tension properties between 10 preparations of coracoclavicular ligament harvested from the cadavers and 3 samples of carbon fiber prosthesis have been presented. INSTRON 1195 apparatus has been employed. The results obtained indicate superiority of carbon fiber ligamentous prosthesis over natural ligament in respect to the elastic properties.
