Altered biomechanical properties in Col5a1Δten/Δten flexor digitorum longus. Cross-sectional area, stiffness, and modulus were measured in postnatal day 60 (P60) male flexor digitorum longus tendons from Col5a1Δten/Δten and Scx-Cre control mice. The significant decrease in cross-sectional area and stiffness in Col5a1Δten/Δten FDLs is consistent with the joint laxity phenotype. The modulus is comparable in both genotypes. ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01.
