Despite the high prevalence of tendon pathology in athletes, the underlying pathogenesis is
still poorly understood. Various aetiological theories have been presented and rejected in …

Background: Methodological heterogeneity hinders data comparisons across isolated
studies of tendon and ligament properties, limiting clinical understanding and affecting the …

Infraspinatus tendon is the most affected tendon of the rotator cuff, being an important
posterior component of the shoulder joint. Hyperlipidemia is a predisposing factor in the …

Rotator cuff injury is the leading cause of shoulder pain. Hyperlipidemia is responsible in
depositing lipids in tendons and reduce the healing upon injuries or tears. In this study, we …

The present work aims to investigate whether it is possible to identify and quantify the
contributions of the interstitial fluid and the solid skeleton to the overall time-dependent …

Tendon fascicle bundles are often used as biological grafts and thus must meet certain
quality requirements, such as excluding calcification, which alters the biomechanical …

Energy storing tendons such as the human Achilles and equine superficial digital flexor
tendon (SDFT) are prone to injury, with incidence increasing with aging, peaking in the 5 th …

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) remains one of the most common hospital-acquired
infections (HAI). Considering the complicated diagnosis and the lack of effective treatment …

Tendon allograft and xenograft processing often involves one or more steps of freezing and
thawing. As failure strength is an important graft consideration, this study aimed to evaluate …

In this work, we investigate the influence of dehydration and subsequent rehydration of
tendon fascicle bundles on their structural and mechanical properties by using distilled …
