摘要：A knitted prosthetic device has at least two knitted sections, where each knittedsection has at least one row of fiber. The knitted prosthetic device also has at least oneintra-articular section disposed between the at least two knitted sections. In addition, theat least one intra-articular section has at least one single continuous fiber traversing theat least one intra-articular section and the at least two knitted sections, where the atleast one single continuous fiber forms a plurality of traverses extending between the atleast two knitted sections. In particular, embodiments may be used as ligament
prostheses by anchoring each of the at least two knitted sections to a bone section of apatient. Such embodiments may be constructed from a strong polymer, preferably, but
not limited to, silk, where the polymer provides ligament support but bioresorbs as loadbearing responsibilities are transferred to tissue resulting from in-growth.
