Fig. 3From: Age-related changes in mechanical properties of semitendinosus tendon used for anterior cruciate ligament reconstructionRelationship between the Young’s modulus of the semitendinosus tendon specimen and patient age. The Young’s modulus of the ST tendon specimens was positively correlated with the patient’s age (n = 26). Note that the correlation remained significant even if an outlier-like data from the 53-year-old subject was removed (n = 25)Back to article page
