MECHANICAL TESTING OF TENDON IN TRANSVERSE COMPRESSION STS Salisbury, CP Buckley, and AB Zavatsky

چکیده
Tendons primarily experience tensile loading along their fibre-aligned direction. They may at the same time also undergo compression and shear. Some of these complex loadings occur normally, as when a tendon wraps around a bone and is subjected to longitudinal tension and transverse compression. Other complex loadings are abnormal and may lead to rupture, as occurs at the rotator cuff (Józsa and Kannus, 1997).

Effects of rabbit pinna-derived blastema cells on tendon healing
Objective(s): Tendon healing is substantially slow and often associated with suboptimal repair. Cell therapy is one of the promising methods to improve tendon repair. Blastema, a population of undifferentiated cells, represents characteristics of pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells and has the potentials to be used in regenerative medicine. The aim of this study was to ...
متن کاملAdipose derived stromal vascular fraction improves early tendon healing: an experimental study in rabbits
Tendon never restores the complete biological and mechanical properties after healing. Bone marrow and recently adipose tissue have been used as the sources of mesenchymal stem cells, which have been proven to enhance tendon healing. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF), derived from adipose tissue by an enzymatic digestion, represents an alternative source of multipotent cells, which undergo differ...
متن کاملTensile properties and fiber alignment of human supraspinatus tendon in the transverse direction demonstrate inhomogeneity, nonlinearity, and regional isotropy.
A recent study (Lake et al., 2009); reported the properties of human supraspinatus tendon (SST) tested along the predominant fiber direction. The SST was found to have a relatively disperse distribution of collagen fibers, which may represent an adaptation to multiaxial loads imposed by the complex loading environment of the rotator cuff. However, the multiaxial mechanical properties of human S...
متن کاملEffects of Short Term Oral Administration of Curcumin on Achilles Tendon Healing in Rats
Objective- Tendon healing, in terms of histologic and functional characteristics, is always inferior to its normal level due to the poor vascularity and low metabolic rate. Curcumin possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and healing effects. This study aimed to investigate effects of curcumin on Achilles tendon experimental injury using histopathology, biomechanical and functional evaluation...
متن کاملDevelopment of a compression system dynamic simulation code for testing and designing of anti-surge control system
In recent years, several research activities have been conducted to develop knowledge in analysis, design and optimization of compressor anti-surge control system. Since the anti-surge control testing on a full-scale compressor is limited to possible consequences of failure, and also the experimental facility can be expensive to set up control strategies and logic, design process often involves...
