Biomechanical characterization of human temporal muscle fascia in uniaxial tensile tests for graft purposes in duraplasty

Abstract The human temporal muscle fascia (TMF) is used frequently as a graft material for duraplasty. Encompassing biomechanical analyses of TMF are lacking, impeding a well-grounded biomechanical comparison of the TMF to other graft materials used for duraplasty, including the dura mater itself.
