- a plurality of first elongate non-biologic elements, at least a portion of which are under a tensile or compressive stress prior to implantation;
- at least one biologic component surrounding at least a portion of the plurality of first elongate elements;
- at least one second elongate non-biologic element, wherein the at least one second element secures at least one end portion of the plurality of first elongate non-biologic elements;
- and
- further comprising at least one non-biologic, bioabsorbable sheath, wherein the non-biologic, bioabsorbable sheath at least partially covers the plurality of first elongate non-biologic elements.
