Summary
Disordered fibrillar structures resembling kinking deformities are found in ruptured tendons. These findings suggest a link between experimental deformations and the pathomechanics of tendon rupture.
Area of Science:
- Biomechanics
- Materials Science
- Orthopedic Surgery
Background:
- Tendon rupture is a debilitating injury.
- The microstructural changes in ruptured tendons are not fully understood.
- Previous research has focused on macroscopic tear patterns.
