Does free tendon length influence the injury risk of the Achilles tendon? A finite element study

Pedro Diniz,

et al.

Abstract: PurposeThe Achilles tendon is a common injury site, but anatomical risk factors for injury are relatively unexplored in the literature. This study aimed to evaluate whether changes in free tendon length would influence the results of a simulated rupture of the Achilles tendon.MethodsUsing a previously validated 3D finite element model of the free and aponeurotic Achilles tendon as a basis, two additional finite element models with 25% decreased and increased free tendon lengths were created. The finite element… Show more
