胶原纤维和它们的组成原纤维构成了大多数组织的蛋白质“骨架”，并提供了它们对拉伸载荷的大部分抵抗力。胶原纤维的空间取向是决定组织性质的重要因素。这在韧带组织中尤其如此，因为韧带必须足够松以允许关节移动，但必须足够紧以防止关节表面分离。这里提出了一种方法，可重复地量化这种胶原蛋白的安排，这应该是有用的韧带愈合和生长的研究。
Collagen fibers and their component fibrils make up the protenaceous " backbone" of most tissues and provide the majority of their resistance to tensile loading. Spatial orientation of collagen fibrils is an important factor in determining tissue properties. This is particularly true in ligament tissue, since ligaments must be loose enough to allow joints to move but tight enough to prevent joint surfaces from separating. A method is presented here to reproducibly quantify this collagen arrangement, which should be useful in studies on ligament healing and growth.
