Time-dependent extracellular matrix alterations of young tendons in response to stress relaxation: a model for the Ponseti method

The Ponseti method corrects a clubfoot by manipulation and casting which causes stress relaxation on the tendons. Here, we examined the effect of long-term stress relaxation on tendon extracellular matrix (ECM) by (1) an ex vivo stress relaxation test, (2) an in vitro tenocyte culture with stress re...
