Clinical and Histologic Manifestations of a Novel Rectus Femoris Myotendinous Junction Injury in Rats
SUMMARY Background. Animal models of muscle injury have primarily relied on methods which do not mimic the chronic scarring that typically occurs adjacent to the myotendinous junction (MTJ). The goal of this study was three-fold: (i) to create a strain-induced in vivo model of rectus femoris MTJ injury in rats; (ii) to document clinical manifestations … Continued
