Improving Mechanical Properties of Tendon Allograft through Rehydration Strategies: An In Vitro Study

Allogenic tendons grafts sourced from intrasynovial tendons are often used for tendon reconstruction. Processing is achieved through repetitive freeze–thaw cycles followed by lyophilization. Soaking the lyophilized tendon in saline (0.9%) for 24 h is the standard practice for rehydration. However, d...
