Fig. 5From: Tendon grafts with preserved muscle demonstrate similar biomechanical properties to tendon grafts stripped of muscular attachments: a biomechanical evaluation in a porcine modelComparison between the mean force applied in G1 (muscle tissue preservation) and G2 (removal of muscle tissue) for the variables yield load (A), tendon stiffness (B), and energy up to maximum load (C). For all the comparisons, there was no significant difference between groups (p = 0.11; 0.1; 0.76, respectively)Back to article page
