A hyperelastic fibre-reinforced continuum model of healing tendons with distributed collagen fibre orientations
The healing process of ruptured tendons is problematic due to scar tissue formation and deteriorated material properties, and in some cases, it may take nearly a year to complete. Mechanical loading has been shown to positively influence tendon healing; however, the mechanisms remain unclear. Comput...
