Abstract

Rotational stiffness values of the two-crosslink construct were significantly higher than those of the zero-crosslink system, at 2.5 degrees and 3.5 degrees of rotation. Lateral bending stiffness of the two-crosslink system was higher than that of the zero-crosslink system at all levels of displacement.
