The Tendon Trap: an innovative surgical technique for the repair of lacerated circular tendons in both human and animal species. Ghent University
A new repair technique in the treatment of ruptured tendons in Orthopaedic and Veterinary surgery will be studied through biomechanical testing on both animal and human cadaveric tendons. If successful, we will proceed to a clinical study on sheep as a model for human medicine. Main goals are a better functional outcome, faster rehabilation and a decrease in cost.
