Tensile load-to-failure testing. The tibia is clamped to the MTS machine using dual-screw fixation with 30° flexion angle. The polydioxanone (PDS) suture was also tied and mounted on the custom-made device. The specimen was clamped in the testing fixture according to the instructions and tested at 30° of flexion angle. The clamped sample was adjusted so that the direction of the axial load was aligned with the long axis of the grafted tendon
