Age-related changes in the quadriceps tendon: Collagen fibril diameter decreases with aging

Age-related changes in the quadriceps tendon: Collagen fibril diameter decreases with aging

Background: The quadriceps tendon (QT) has recently gained attention as a graft tendon for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction due to its high strength from a larger ultrastructural collagen fibril diameter in children than that of the semitendinosus tendon. While QT collagen fibril diam...
