Thus, disoriented fibers showed a highly significant loss of tensile strength after only four weeks of implantation (residual strength close to 18%) while oriented fibers can retain a good performance for a period of eight weeks, with the in vivo strength retention being close to 50% after 12 weeks [ 8 ].
