Morphological characteristics of the injured tendons at 60 days after injury (Scanning electron microscopy).

One way ANOVA was performed to statistically analyze the data. Several post hoc Tukey tests were used to statistically analyze the significant differences between groups. Number of tissue samples: n = 10, number of tissue sections: n = 5, number of scanning electron microscopic ultramicrographs for each tissue sections in each analysis: n = 5 (totally = 250 ultramicrographs for each group). Abbreviations: D; diameter, n; number.
