Abstract

Collagen degradation caused by IR laser irradiation in ligament tissues was studied by thermal analysis and cross-polarization optical coherent tomography. It was found that, at 60°C, laser-induced modification of the quasi-crystalline packing of ordered collagen fibers occurred without the helix-coil molecular conformation transition. It was shown that, for uniaxial tension of ligaments, laser irradiation caused serious distortions in the structure of collagen and increased the fraction of macromolecules in the random coil state. It was assumed that the thermomechanical effect of laser treatment during laser heating played an important role.
