Fig. 8From: Templated freezing: a simple method may increase gripping force of the clamp on the tendonfailure load of (A) porcine and (B) chicken’s tendons with different treatments. * p < 0.05 indicates significant differences between two groups. In all treatments, the failure load of porcine tendons was higher than chicken tendons. The failure load of freezing treatment was significantly higher than non-freezing treatment and the failure load of gauze group was significantly lower than the control group for both porcine and chicken tendons. The failure load of the mold group was significantly higher than the pocket group for porcine tendonsBack to article page
