Effect of storage and preconditioning of healing rat Achilles tendon on structural and mechanical properties

Abstract Tendon tissue storage and preconditioning are often used in biomechanical experiments and whether this generates alterations in tissue properties is essential to know. The effect of storage and preconditioning on dense connective tissues, like tendons, is fairly understood. However, healing...
