Photos that depict the partial transection created in the mouse patellar tendon. A plastic coated backing is placed underneath the tendon to provide support (Fig. 1(1)), and a biopsy punch is used to create a full thickness partial transection. The backing is removed, leaving a distinct and reproducible injury (Figs. 1(2)).
