The organization of collagen bundles in soft tissues strongly influences their material properties. To study this, 60 failure tests were conducted on double-layered fascia lata, isolated parallel-bundled tendons (gracilis and semitendinosus) and parallel-bundled bone-patellar tendon-bone units taken from about the knees of 18 young human donors (mean age of 26 yr). Most material parameters for the 2-layered fascia lata did not differ significantly from corresponding values for the isolated tendons and tendon-bone preparations, suggesting their longitudinal fibers predominated during loading. Differences were present between the gracilis tendon and all other tissues for modulus and maximum stress. The larger variations in reported maximum and failure strains for tendons, fascia and other collagenous tissues prompted the other phase of the study. During 15 of the 60 failure tests, surface markers were simultaneously filmed to determine: differences between local surface strains and grip to grip values; the amount of tissue slippage and/or failure occurring in the grips; and the effect of strain measurement technique on tissue moduli and failure energy densitites. Maximum local strains were 25-30% of grip strains for all tissues tested. Some slippage and/or failure could be seen in all isolated tissues which were gripped directly although their maximum grip strains were similar to values for tendon-bone units. For all tissues, 2- to 3-fold differences were found in moduli and failure energy densities between grip and midregion measurements.
