Özet

Tendon and ligament impairments are among the most familiar injuries of the knee with acute or chronic pain conditions. The defects of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) stay a known clinical problem. In the present study, the electrospinning method was used to fabricate 10wt.%PCL/(1, 3, 5)wt.%Chitosan (CS) appropriate and biocompatible scaffolds with a similar connective ligament geometry and structure. 10wt.%PCL/3wt.%CS demonstrated higher tensile strength value (0.58854 MPa) than other scaffolds in the tensile test.
