It provides a force transmission from the axial skeleton to the lower extremities. Therefore, labral tears might lead to serious outcomes with time; such as hip pain, degeneration, even arthritis. In this study, we aimed to determine human acetabular labrum mechanical properties with the help of a newly designed compression test set-up. Study was performed with 9 human acetabular labrum tissues obtained from volunteers (with the average age of 65,5±8,1; 4 female and 5 male). The samples were evaluated separately by using a 3D printer designed test set-up with a 100% humidity and a displacement rate of 10 mm/min at 24(±1) °C. The data up to 70 N loading were used for biomechanical evaluations. The average elastic modulus (0.022 MPa ± 0.001) was evaluated with the maximum stress (1.169 MPa ± 0.052) and the maximum strain (53.09 ± 2.643) at 70 N loading. In conclusion, the obtained data verifies that the test set-up is like to anatomical design and data is acceptable.  <br /> </p>}, number={1}
