From: Templated freezing: a simple method may increase gripping force of the clamp on the tendon
Failure mode of tendons in all groups. A control group B gauze group C suture group D pocket group E mold group. The number 1 represents the porcine tendon and the number 2 represents the chicken tendon. Among them, there are two failure modes of porcine tendon in Pocket group, coded as D1-1 and D1-2. Control group showed slippage and avulsion (A1 and A2). Gauze group was mainly manifested as slippage between tendon and gauze, and the degree of avulsion was less than control group (B1 and B2). Suture group is mainly manifested as the avulsion of the suture part (C1 and C2), and the tendon stump in the clamp is connected to the detached tendon by suture. Pocket group is manifested as slippage with rupture (D1-1) or slippage only (D1-2) in porcine tendon and rupture (D2) in chicken’s tendon. Tendon rupture (E1 and E2) in mold group from both chicken’s and porcine mold group occurred in the unfrozen portion of the tendon
