A Computational Model of Force within the Ligaments and Tendons in Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, 2022, 2021
Progressive collapsing foot deformity results from degeneration of the ligaments and the posterior tibial tendon (PTT). Our understanding of the relationship between the failures of them remains incomplete. We sought to improve this understanding through computational modeling of force in these soft tissues.

Regenerative Medicine for Tendon/Ligament Injuries: De Novo Equine Tendon/Ligament Neotissue Generation and Application [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Tendon and ligament injuries are debilitating conditions across species. Poor regenerative capacities of these tissues limit restoration of original functions. The first study of this dissertation evaluated the effect of cellular administration on tendon/ligament injuries in horses using meta-analysis.
