Tendon is an intricately organized connective tissue that efficiently transfers muscle force to
the bony skeleton. Its structure, function, and physiology reflect the extreme, repetitive …

Engineering synthetic scaffolds to repair and regenerate ruptured native tendon and
ligament (T/L) tissues is a significant engineering challenge due to the need to satisfy both …

Tendons are designed to withstand considerable loads. Mechanical loading of tendon tissue
results in upregulation of collagen expression and increased synthesis of collagen protein …

A randomized‐controlled single‐blind trial was conducted to investigate the clinical,
structural and functional effects of peritendinous corticosteroid injections (CORT), eccentric …

Tissues, such as bone, tendon, and ligaments, contain a high fraction of components with"
short" and" ultrashort" transverse relaxation times and therefore have short mean transverse …

Background Achilles tendinopathy is a common disease among both athletes and in the
general population in which the use of platelet-rich plasma has recently been increasing …

Background Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) application appears to improve tendon
healing in traumatic tendon injuries, but basic knowledge of how PRP promotes tendon …

Tendinopathy is a common clinical problem with athletes and in many occupational settings.
Tendinopathy can occur in any tendon, often near its insertion or enthesis where there is an …

MRI and ultrasound are now widely used for the assessment of tendon and ligament
abnormalities. Healthy tendons and ligaments contain high levels of collagen with a …

Continuing progress in research in molecular biology and biomechanics has provided
considerable new information and has given rise to new hypotheses in chronic …
