From: Tendon grafts with preserved muscle demonstrate similar biomechanical properties to tendon grafts stripped of muscular attachments: a biomechanical evaluation in a porcine model

Fig. 6

(A) shows comparative images of the tendons in G1 (above) and G2 (below): phase (a) represents the relaxed state of the tendon; phase (b) shows the moment of maximum force sustained by the tendons; phase (c) shows the rupture of the first fibers; and phase (d), tendon failure. (B) illustrates the tensile strength and the deformation of the tendons
