The alteration of the structure and macroscopic mechanical response of porcine patellar tendon by elastase digestion

The alteration of the structure and macroscopic mechanical response of porcine patellar tendon by elastase digestion

Background: The treatment of patellar tendon injury has always been an unsolved problem, and mechanical characterization is very important for its repair and reconstruction. Elastin is a contributor to mechanics, but it is not clear how it affects the elasticity, viscoelastic properties, and structu...
