Intratendinous pressure of the Achilles tendon during exercise is related to the degree of tendon torsion Universiteit Gent Universiteit Antwerpen
Torsion of the Achilles tendon (AT) enhances tensile strength, but a high degree of torsion might also be a risk factor for Achilles tendinopathy, due to greater internal compression exerted during tensile loading. However, evidence supporting the grounds for this assumption is lacking. Hence, we aimed to investigate the impact of AT torsion type on intratendinous pressure. Eighteen human fresh frozen cadaveric legs were mounted in a testing rig ...
Measurement of ductile crack extension in single edge notch tensile specimens Universiteit Gent
The determination of ductile tearing resistance has since long been focused on high constraint single edge notch bend and compact tension specimens. However, several structures, such as pipelines, have a significantly lower constraint level. To minimize the conservatism involved in the assessment of defects in these structures, nowadays focus is put on the evaluation of tearing resistance using low constraint, single edge notched tension (SENT), ...
Impact of geometry on stretchable meandered interconnect uniaxial tensile extension fatigue reliability Universiteit Gent
The influence of freezing on the tensile strength of tendon grafts Vrije Universiteit Brussel
We investigated the influence of freezing on the tensile strength of fresh frozen tendon grafts. The biomechanical characteristics of tendons that are less commonly used in knee surgery (tibialis anterior, tibialis posterior, peroneus longus and medial and lateral half of Achilles tendons) were compared to those of a semitendinosus and gracilis graft harvested from the same 10 multi-organ donors. All right side tendons constituted the study ...
Static and dynamic tensile behaviour of aluminium processed by high pressure torsion Universiteit Gent
High pressure torsion (HPT) is a severe plastic deformation technique in which a small, disk-like sample is subjected to a torsional deformation under a high hydrostatic pressure. In present study, the static and dynamic tensile behaviour of commercially pure aluminium (99.6 wt%) processed by HPT is studied. The high strain rate tensile behaviour is characterized using a purpose-developed miniature split Hopkinson tensile bar setup by which ...
Distal femoral extension osteotomy and patellar tendon advancement or shortening in ambulatory children with cerebral palsy: A modified Delphi consensus study and literature review KU Leuven
PURPOSE: In children with cerebral palsy, flexion deformities of the knee can be treated with a distal femoral extension osteotomy combined with either patellar tendon advancement or patellar tendon shortening. The purpose of this study was to establish a consensus through expert orthopedic opinion, using a modified Delphi process to describe the surgical indications for distal femoral extension osteotomy and patellar tendon advancement/patellar ...
Evidence of patellar tendon buckling during passive extension KU Leuven
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate and describe buckling of the patellar tendon. METHODS: Healthy young adults (28±4years, 10F/10M) underwent passive knee flexion/extension during the simultaneous measurement of knee angle and collection of cine ultrasound from the patellar tendon. Patellar tendon buckling was observed visually in ultrasound images, and the corresponding knee angle at which evidence of buckling disappeared was ...
