Histological analysis of the TBI. A Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), alcian blue staining (A-B), and Safranin-fixed green staining (S-G) of the Achilles tendon–calcaneus healing interface of the cortical and cancellous group at 4 and 8 weeks. T = tendon, B = bone, and IF = interface. Bar = 100um. B Tendon bonding to adjacent tissues score, fibrocartilage zone formation score, and the histomorphometric score of the TBI in the cortical and cancellous group at 4 and 8 weeks. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01
