Figure 3. The effect of MTR on wound healing in aging rat patellar tendon.

Figure 3

A., C. Control aging tendons. B., D. Tendons from aging rats after MTR. At 4 weeks, the window defect in control aging rats A. appears bruised and vascular. But MTR accelerated healing of the wound B., which is evidently smaller and seems to be closing (blue arrow). At 8 weeks, the wound in the control group still looks bruised and vascular (red arrow) C., whereas in the MTR group D. the wound for the most part appears to be healed.
