Time-dependent extracellular matrix alterations of young tendons in response to stress relaxation: a model for the Ponseti method

Abstract:

The Ponseti method corrects a clubfoot by manipulation and casting which causes stress relaxation on the tendons. Here, we examined the effect of long-term stress relaxation on tendon extracellular matrix (ECM) by (1) an ex vivo stress relaxation test, (2) an in vitro tenocyte culture with stress relaxation and (3) an in vivo rabbit study. Time-dependent tendon lengthening and ECM alterations including crimp angle reduction and cleaved elastin were observed, which illustrated the mechanism of...
