A Load deformation curves until failure of a typical pair of experimental and control ligaments with the load and unloading curves of the experimental ligament (hysteresis) for the 80% subfailure stretch [74]; and B Representative load deformation curves for experimental (E) and control (C) ligaments. Also shown is the load deformation curve of the 80% subfailure stretch of the experimental ligament (subfailure – E) [73]. Findings confirm impairment in both submaximal hysteresis patterns and deformation under failure loads for the partially injured ACL. Figures used with permission [73, 74]
