(A) Cross-sectional area was decreased in the Col5a1ΔTen/ΔTen group compared to the wild type group in the FDL, ACH, and SST. (B) Percent relaxation was not altered with collagen V removal in any tissue. (C) Maximum load was decreased in the Col5a1ΔTen/ΔTen group in all tissues except the FDL. (D) Maximum stress was severely reduced in the ACL and SST, but there were no differences between groups in the ACH or FDL. Data presented as median ± interquartile range.
