Adult Smo tKO patellar tendons displayed impaired structural (A) and material (B) properties compared to control animals. Smo tKO tendons showed decreased linear stiffness, increased displacement and increased strain (p<0.05). Linear modulus trended towards a decrease in Smo tKO animals; however, results were not statistically significant.
