The knitted prosthetic device also has at least one intra-articular section 122 disposed between the at least two knitted sections. In addition, the at least one intra-articular section has at least one single continuous fiber traversing the at least one intra-articular section and the at least two knitted sections, where the at least one single continuous fiber forms a plurality of transverse sections extending between the at least two knitted sections. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
