It has been observed that the fascicles in the canine anterior cruciate ligament do not follow a straight line path between the tibial and femoral attachment sites, but rather their path is approximately helical about the ligament axis. Thus, a mathematical model for the mechanical response of a ligament was developed from the observed geometrical configuration of the fascicle. The principal result of the model indicated that a torque must always accompany the force during elongation of a ligament. The relationships between the ligament and fascicle variables are also examined in detail.
据观察，犬前交叉韧带中的纤维束在胫骨和股骨附着点之间并非沿直线走行，而是围绕韧带轴呈近似螺旋状走行。因此，基于观察到的纤维束几何构型，开发了一种韧带力学响应的数学模型。该模型的主要结果表明，韧带伸长过程中，力总是伴随着扭矩。还详细研究了韧带和纤维束变量之间的关系。
