Establishing in vivo and ex vivo chick embryo models to investigate fetal tendon healing
Injured adult tendons heal fibrotically and possess high re-injury rates, whereas fetal tendons appear to heal scarlessly. However, knowledge of fetal tendon wound healing is limited due in part to the need for an accessible animal model.
