【 摘 要 】

Knee joint ligaments and patellar tendon are rope-like tissues that enable the proper function of the knee by connecting the bones that form the joint. A better understanding of ligament structure-function relationships is needed to develop objective and reliable diagnostic methods for ligaments. Recently, arthroscopic near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) has shown the potential to quantitatively evaluate the health of the cartilages and menisci of the knee. In this dataset, we present a unique combination of NIR spectral data, biomechanical properties, and biochemical composition of bovine primary knee ligaments and patellar tendon (10 knees, 50 tissue samples). NIR spectral data were measured at 5 locations in each sample, biomechanical properties were obtained with tensile testing, and biochemical composition was quantified using colorimetric biochemical methods. The data can be reused for investigations of structure-function relationships of knee ligaments and patellar tendon, for the development of NIR spectroscopic methods to quantify the health of these tissues, and to develop new computational models to describe ligament and tendon biomechanics.
