Abstract: The soft tissue constraints of all joints play an important role in the native biomechanics as well as following arthroplasty. While a number of studies have examined the ultimate biomechanical properties of ankle ligaments in bone-ligament-bone constructs, the viscoelastic properties of the ligaments alone have not been characterized to any great respect. This study compared the mechanical response of ankle ligaments within physiologic loads and viscoelastic response in stress relaxation.
