CCR2 deficiency does not affect flexor tendon biomechanics during homeostasis. (A) Measurement of biomechanical properties (stiffness and maximum load at failure) and (B) gliding properties (gliding resistance and metatarsophalangeal joint flexion angle) in uninjured WT and CCR2^KO tendons. Student’s t test was used to assess statistical significance. A two-way ANOVA with Sidak’s multiple comparisons test between genotypes and timepoints for the contralateral revealed no significant differences in gliding and biomechanical properties, as such contralateral data (n = 9–12 per genotype) from each time-point is presented in aggregate. Student’s t test was used to assess statistical significance.
