Tissue memory in healing tendons: short loading episodes stimulate healing.
Intact tendons adapt slowly to changes in mechanical loading, whereas in healing tendons the effect of mechanical loading or its absence is dramatic. The longevity of the response to a single loading episode is, however, unknown. We hypothesized that the tissue has a "memory" of loading episodes and that therefore short loadings are sufficient to elicit improved healing. The Achilles tendon of ...

متن کاملSubstantial creep in healing human Achilles tendons
The early tendon regenerate after an Achilles tendon rupture is a watery tissue, likely to show time-dependent deformation during load. To our knowledge the extent of such deformation has not previously been estimated in humans. Estimations of mechanical properties of intact tendons have usually applied ultrasonography1. This method measures the entire length of the tendon, and is therefore unl...
متن کاملTissue Engineering of Tendons
Rupture of tendons due to either high load or laceration is a common injury, especially for the hand. Tendon disorders are traditionally treated by reducing inflammation, restoring flexibility, and, if necessary, performing surgical repair. It has been estimated that hand surgeons repair nearly one-third of a million digital flexor tendon injuries per year in the United States. Despite the fact...
متن کاملSubstantial creep in healing human Achilles tendons. A pilot study.
BACKGROUND healing after rupture of the Achilles tendon can be described in terms of mechanical properties of the new-formed tissue, constituting the tendon callus. In previous human studies, the elastic modulus and the density remained almost constant during 3 months after mobilization started, and then improved up to one year. So far, time-dependent deformation of the healing human tendon has...
