Figure 1

Mean structural changes observed in the ruptured region of the injured tendon throughout the 12-week monitoring period. Thickness and echogenicity measured by B-mode US and vascularity assessed by Power Doppler. Values (N = 15/timepoint) are medians ± SD for the boxplot and means ± s.e.m. for the two line plots. Both echogenicity and vascularity are expressed in arbitrary units (a.u.). **p < .0001 vs baseline in injured leg (repeated measure ANOVA).
