Does free tendon length influence the injury risk of the Achilles tendon? A finite element study

ABSTRACT Purpose The Achilles tendon is a common injury site, but anatomical risk factors for injury are relatively unexplored in the literature. This study aimed to evaluate whether changes in free tendon length would influence the results of a simulated rupture of the Achilles tendon. Methods Usin...
