Regional differences in turnover, composition, and mechanics of the porcine flexor tendon.

Conclusion: Taken together, autofluorescence varied both along the length and across the tendon cross section, indicating higher turnover in the distal and peripheral regions. In addition, mechanical properties differed across the tendon cross-section. PMID: 31134816 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
