Pathological tendons maintain sufficient aligned fibrillar structure on ultrasound tissue characterisation (UTC)

Authors Docking SI, Cook J Publisher Scand J Med Sci Sports. 2015 Jun 9. Doi: 10.1111/sms. 12491. Publishing detail PMID: 26059532 weghalen als n.v.t. Abstract Structural disorganization in the tendon is associated with tendinopathy, with little research investigating whether disorganization overwhelms the overall structural integrity of the tendon. This study investigated the mean…
