Additional information
This study was carried out as an interdisciplinary collaboration between Engineering Science, the Department of Zoology and the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre. It was submitted to this clinical specialty journal to ensure impact on the most relevant clinicians. It demonstrated for the first time that all commercially available tendon repair patches in current clinical use are unable to withstand physiological loading conditions, outlining the need for a new generation of implants. The work supported a successful application to NIHR for a Biomedical Research Unit project led by Prof Andrew Carr to deliver these new technologies.
