Fig 4. Geometrical and mechanical properties.

Fig 4

Properties in loaded and unloaded healing tendons measured after 1, 2 and 4 weeks of healing is shown. The callus geometry is described by cross-sectional area and gap size. Creep magnitude and ratio from the 5N creep test are shown. From the tension-to-failure test, stiffness, Young’s modulus, peak force and peak stress are displayed. Individual data points, as well as mean and standard deviation are shown in the graphs.
