In Vivo Evaluation of Different Collagen Scaffolds in an Achilles Tendon Defect Model

Table 1

Biomechanical data (mean ± standard deviation) of the two collagen scaffold materials. Fmax: maximal failure load, Rm: tear strength, S: stiffness, EM: elastic modulus. p < 0.05.

Test Material	395.6 ± 70.5	22.7 ± 4.9	75.0 ± 10.1	90.4 ± 12.1
Control Material	309.8 ± 193.9	10.4 ± 5.5	79.4 ± 30.6	61.7 ± 13.5
