Biomechanical properties of normal tendons, normal palmar aponeuroses, and tissues from patients with Dupuytren's disease subjected to elastase and chondroitinase treatment.

Normal tendons, normal palmar aponeuroses and palmar aponeuroses from patients with Dupuytren's disease were subjected to elastase or chondroitinase treatment. Young's modulus was derived from the linear portion of stress-strain graph. It showed the lowest value for the apparently normal palmar aponeuroses and the highest value for tendon samples. Elastase treatment caused an increase of extens...
